Run by successive generations of the Avril family, Clos des Papes has a long and illustrious history of producing exceptional quality wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2018 is composed of around 50% Mourvèdre with a healthy does of Grenache and assorted other permitted varieties. It is full-bodied and satin-textured, with vibrant and alluring notes of red summer fruits, wild herbs and exotic spices. Though deceptively easy to drink in youth, this should cellar well for up to a decade.

Vinous
Bright violet. Expressive, smoke-accented cherry, Chambord, licorice, succulent herb and exotic spice qualities on the nose. Weighty and broad on the palate, offering intense red fruit, floral pastille, allspice, cola and botanical herb flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. The floral note gains strength with air and drives the impressively long, penetrating finish, which features polished tannins and resonating cherry and floral notes.Josh Raynolds1st October 2021
