Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes 2020 is a full-bodied red wine from the southern Rhône Valley, encompassing a blend of predominantly Grenache, with smaller contributions from Syrah, Mourvèdre and other permitted varieties. Managed by Paul-Vincent Avril, this estate is renowned for its dedication to traditional methods. The vineyard is characterised by a variety of soil types, providing depth and complexity to the fruit. Following maturation in large, neutral foudres, the wine showcases a nuanced palate of red fruits, herbal nuances and subtle earthy undertones, sustaining an elegant structure with extended ageing potential.

I last reported on the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape prior to bottling, so let me update readers here. It`s a terrific, red-fruited version of Clos des Papes, with raspberry and cherry notes accented by hints of black olive and allspice. Full-bodied, taut and firmly structured, with a long, concentrated finish, this is a vintage that should reward cellaring. - Joe Czerwinski

Made with the usual blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, Cinsaut and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at 15.5% alcohol. It bursts with pungent aromas of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, black plum, thyme, black pepper and is distinctively spicy. Full-bodied and expressive, wrapped in an intricate web of velvety tannins and balanced by lively acids, it is a majestic Clos des Papes.Nicolas Greinacher1st June 2023
