Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes 2005 is a distinguished red wine from a celebrated estate, the Avril family, which has been crafting wines in this appellation since 1896. This vintage is constructed primarily from Grenache, supported by Mourvèdre and Syrah, reflecting the region’s rich diversity in grape varieties. The grapes are sourced from multiple plots, highlighting the varied terroirs of the region, including pebbly soils and clay. Fermentation occurs without added stems, followed by an ageing process in large foudres, allowing the wine to develop structure and depth over time, with notable potential for further maturation.

The 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape evokes a savory aromatic profile that’s defined by earthy scents, tobacco, cured meat, dried blackberry, crushed rocks and leather. Fleshy and forward, the 2005 shows much more evolution than the 2007 does on this encounter. Fine-grained and perfectly integrated tannins structure this outstanding Clos des Papes, comfortably placing it among the wines of the vintage.Nicolas Greinacher13th June 2024
