Bourboulenc (pronounced boor-boo-LAHNK), also known as Aprokondoura, is a white wine variety and comes from Greece, but is now primarily planted in Southern France in the Rhone region. This categorizes Bourboulenc as an ancient wine variety. It is one of only five white wine grapes allowed for use in Chateaneuf du Pape, along with Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Rousanne, and Picardan. It is also used in Provence, Languedoc, La Clape, and Minervois. It displays strong citrus notes, a hint of smoke, some floral attributes, and high acidity. In blends, it will give body and spicy tones. Bourboulenc has a tendency to ripen late, but the acidity retains freshness in the wine. However, it is best consumed young. Bourboulenc grape bunches are tight with large berries and sometimes susceptible to rot. It does well in warmer, sun filled climates with stony plateaus, much like the Mediterranean basin.

Brimming with boysenberry, lavender, and black tea, this expressive, well-structured Pinot Noir made with freerun juice aged in (60% new French oak for nine months is equal parts juicy, dense, energetic, and glossy. Sweet tobacco, vanilla wafer, and pomegranate align with supple tannins. Delicious.
