A family story at the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The history of Clos des Papes is intimately linked to that of the Avril family, who have been present in the region since the 17th century. Over generations, the estate has developed a demanding approach based on in-depth knowledge of the terroirs and respect for the local winemaking heritage. Today, Paul-Vincent Avril continues this family tradition while maintaining a level of quality that regularly places the estate's wines among the appellation's benchmarks.

The richness of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's terroirs

The Clos des Papes vineyard is based on a mosaic of plots spread across the best sectors of the appellation. The famous "galets roulés" (rounded pebbles), sandy soils, and clay-limestone terroirs each contribute to the complexity of the wines. This diversity allows for the production of balanced cuvées, combining power, finesse, and freshness, while fully expressing the singularity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Iconic Rhône Valley Blends

The estate favors the great traditional grape varieties of the appellation, notably Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and several complementary varieties authorized in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Vinification is carried out with precision to preserve the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The red wines captivate with their depth and complexity, while the estate's rare white wines stand out for their elegance and aging potential.

A benchmark among great French wines

Awarded numerous times by international critics, Clos des Papes wines are sought after by enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
