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.
Clos des Papes 2018 red is distinguished by a pure, balanced expression of the vintage.
The nose reveals a beautiful aromatic complexity, oscillating between ripe black fruits, sweet spices, and a touch of licorice and cocoa. After aeration, more floral and spicy notes, such as violets and black pepper, are elegantly revealed.
Full-bodied and silky on the palate, supported by ripe, dense tannins that provide structure without hardness. The fruit expresses itself with intensity and precision, accompanied by hints of tapenade, graphite and undergrowth. Well-dosed freshness balances the richness, ensuring a beautiful dynamic.
The finish has a saline minerality that underlines the finesse of the terroir, with hints of zan and thyme. Accessible after decanting, it will gain in depth over 15 to 20 years.
A gastronomic wine, perfect with game, mature prime rib or roast pigeon.
