Clos des Papes, run by successive generations of the Avril family, has a long and illustrious history of producing exceptional quality wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Though 90% of production is red, 10% is reserved for white wine, the debut of the ‘Blanc’ in 1955. It is a blend of equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul, vinified and aged in stainless steel for 6 months. From the warm 2017 vintage, this is rich and round with intense notes of orange citrus, blossom, stone fruits and honey. An excellent wine to drink whilst young with meaty white fish such as turbot.

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a stunningly concentrated effort produced from minuscule yields of only ten hectoliters per hectare. Made and aged entirely in stainless steel, it offers aromas of apple blossoms and tangerines. This medium to full-bodied white combines richness and lime zest, and it seems to be developing quickly. Already showing hints of honey and truffle, I would opt for drinking it on the young side, although Paul-Vincent Avril likes his whites after ten or more years of cellaring.Joe Czerwinski31st August 2018
Vinous
Vivid straw-yellow. Highly perfumed citrus and orchard fruit and floral qualities on the mineral-accented nose. Shows excellent concentration as well as vivacity, offering palate-staining pear, Meyer lemon and brioche flavors that stretch out steadily with air. The floral and mineral elements return emphatically on the intense, sharply focused finish, which lingers with serious persistence.Josh Raynolds1st October 2018
