Mas de Boislauzon La Chaussynette Red

Overview

Mas de Boislauzon is a six-generation estate, located just north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the ancient Roman city of Orange and owned and operated by the Chaussy-Laget family. The brother-sister team of Daniel Chaussy and Christine Laget, who have been managing the property for the last two-plus decades, are the winemaker and marketer, respectively. The estate consists of 28 hectares — 10 in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 18 in the Côtes du Rhône-Villages appellation — sustainably-, organically- (certified since 2013) and biodynamically-farmed vines of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Roussanne and Clairette on soils of sandy, clay-limestone covered with large pebbles. Since 2015, Christine’s sons, Joris and Quentin, and Daniel’s son, Arnaud, have joined the winery, nearly tripling its staff.

Mas de Boislauzon's La Chaussynette is a Vin de France designated wine crafted by Daniel and Christine's sons: Quentin, Arnaud and Joris. Initially produced for bulk, the wine proved too delicious to be sold as such and was instead bottled. A delightful blend of Grenache and Syrah, La Chaussynette offers a beautiful bouquet of ripe berry fruits complemented with notes of mixed herbs. The medium-bodied palate is loaded with ripe strawberry and raspberry flavors accented with touches of lime zest, mint and fennel. The wine possesses moderate tannins and a lifted acidity that supports this wonderful red to a long, saline-laced finish.
