Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes 2007 is a notable red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley, crafted predominantly from Grenache, with a significant contribution from Mourvèdre and Syrah. This vintage showcases grapes sourced from 24 distinct parcels, reflecting the complexity of the appellation’s terroir, characterised by pebbly soils and clay. The Avril family employs a traditional approach, including 100% destemming and fermentation in large oak foudres, aged for 18 to 24 months. This wine is recognised for its structured profile, featuring dark fruit nuances alongside herbal notes and hints of spice, with a potential for long-term cellaring and development.

One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it`s just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity. - Jeb Dunnuck

The vibrant 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape bursts with pronounced spice box, menthol, tobacco, black plum, iodine, licorice, leather and crushed violets. Offering a vertical sensation on the full-bodied palate, the 2007 captures the ripeness and concentration of the vintage without veering into jamminess. The savory finish is energetic and long-lasting. This is a stunning Clos des Papes that ranks alongside the best wines of the vintage.Nicolas Greinacher13th June 2024
