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.
Visually, Clos des Papes 2021 Blanc has a bright, pale yellow color with hints of gold. The nose is extremely pure, offering a complex aromatic palette of intertwining citrus notes (lime, grapefruit) and white-fleshed fruit aromas (peach, pear), with a delicate floral touch (orange blossom, lime blossom). Aeration also reveals subtle nuances of light honey and fresh butter, adding depth to the bouquet.
On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, marked by a fine mineral tension that structures the wine. The texture is both round and silky, balanced by a freshness that lingers throughout the tasting. Aromas of citrus and white fruit mingle with a light touch of almond and beeswax, creating a sensation of depth and complexity. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a subtle minerality and slight salinity, typical of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir.
