Colour

Dark, deep red with purplish reflections.

Nose

Aromas of black and red berries (elderberry, raspberry, cranberry), supported by spicy notes.

Palate

Fruity and generous attack, powerful and very juiciness. Creamy and powerful, with Asian spices, ample, with robust but silky tannins of great finesse. Ultra-long finish. A hedonistic vintage, hard to resist, with legendary aging potential.

Wine-growing region

The Clos des Papes vineyard brings together 24 plots located on all types of terroirs in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, often covered with pebbles which store heat during the day and release it to the ground at night, thus promoting the maturity of the grapes. . Other predominantly sandy terroirs highlight the silkiness and elegance of the fruit.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, traditional winemaking, aging in wooden barrels for 12 months. Unfiltered wine, but stuck with egg white.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Clos des Papes

Covering an area of 40 ha, the Clos des Papes takes its name from a plot of vines which was once part of the papal estate which is currently located within the ruins of the castle. A pioneer in the quest for quality in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation area, the Avril family has never considered precedence for granted. Paul-Vincent Avril, meticulous and diligent, raised in the sobriety of the Burgundian school, perpetuates the tradition of elegant and balanced wines.
