Clos des Papes is one of the most emblematic Domaines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, run by Paul-Vincent Avril, a central figure in the production of exceptional wines.
Located on the legendary terroirs of this AOC, Domaine boasts a rich history dating back to the 17th century, and today embodies a model of quality and precision in winemaking.
What makes Le Clos des Papes so special is its ability to combine tradition and innovation. Paul-Vincent Avril, while remaining faithful to ancestral methods, does not hesitate to modernize his techniques to express the best of his terroir. Le Domaine covers around 30 hectares, with vines aged from 40 to 100 years, spread over several types of soil, from pebbles to clay-limestone. This diversity produces a range of highly complex wines, both powerful and fine.
The flagship wine of Domaine, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes, is a blend dominated by Grenache, supported by Syrah, Mourvèdre and other grape varieties authorized in the appellation. This wine is renowned for its depth, elegance and ageing potential. It is distinguished by a complex aromatic richness, blending notes of black fruit, spices, garrigue and licorice, all wrapped up in a silky texture and perfectly controlled freshness.
On tasting, Clos des Papes Blanc 2020 reveals a brilliant, clear, pale gold color. The nose is of great intensity and purity, dominated by white-fleshed fruit aromas (peach, pear), accompanied by citrus notes (lemon, mandarin) and a touch of white flowers (acacia, honeysuckle). There's also a subtle hint of honey, which blends perfectly with the bouquet.
On the palate, the attack is fresh and dynamic, with a remarkable mineral tension that structures the wine. The texture is creamy, almost unctuous, underpinned by well-controlled acidity that gives the wine great vivacity. White fruit and citrus aromas continue, combined with a light spicy, slightly herbaceous touch that adds complexity. The finish is long and elegant, with a fruity persistence and a slight salinity that brings freshness and balance to the wine.
