Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes 2015 presents a structured and complex flavour profile. The blend comprises around 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah, reflecting the traditional approach of the estate. Notable aromas include dark cherry and ripe plum, alongside hints of spice and herbal notes. The palate showcases a firm acidity with fine, persistent tannins that lend depth to the wine. The estate, founded in the early 20th century by the esteemed Paul Avril, maintains its commitment to sustainable practices and terroir expression.
Vinous
(raised in foudres) Deep ruby. Hugely aromatic red and dark berry, potpourri and floral scents are underscored by smoky minerality and an exotic suggestion of Asian spices. Sappy, focused and impressively deep yet lively, offering alluringly sweet raspberry, cherry compote and spicecake flavors and a refreshingly bitter touch of blood orange. Puts on weight and spreads out steadily with air, acquiring a succulent herb note that carries through the strikingly long, mineral-laced, gently tannic finish. This beauty is shaping up to be among the standouts of this extremely successful vintage. Josh Raynolds1st March 2017
