Clos des Papes is one of the most revered producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. From the sensational 2016 vintage this is a brilliant wine that superbly balances incredible richness and power with freshness and finesse. On the nose it offers up a bouquet of bright red cherry, wild herbs, liquorice, woodsmoke and earth. With a fine weave of tannin and a burst of refreshing acidity, this has all the elements to ensure a excellent trajectory over the next 10 to 20 years.

Vinous
Lurid ruby. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes raspberry liqueur, cherry compote, exotic spices and candied lavender. Juicy, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering impressively concentrated and sharply delineated flavors of sappy red fruits, succulent herbs, spicecake and candied flowers that spread out steadily on the back half. Densely packed but also lithe in character, finishing with slow-building tannins that shape the exuberant red fruit on the extremely long, sappy and penetrating finish.
