Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley of France. 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. Available here in magnum format, the 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is sourced from vineyard plots located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on a south-facing slope with well-drained, stony soil. The vines are planted to a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Vaccarèse. "One of the great vintages from this estate, surpassing even the 1990, 2000, 2001, 2003, and maybe the 2010 (time will tell with this one), the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Vincent Avril delivers everything you could want from a wine. Full-bodied, intense and beautifully concentrated, with plenty of muscle and depth, it shows the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate, with sensational notes of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, incense, smoked meats and Asian spices. The blend is the normal 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, brought up all in older foudre, and it`s just now entering its prime drink window and has another two decades of longevity." 100 points, Wine Advocate, 2017

The vibrant 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape bursts with pronounced spice box, menthol, tobacco, black plum, iodine, licorice, leather and crushed violets. Offering a vertical sensation on the full-bodied palate, the 2007 captures the ripeness and concentration of the vintage without veering into jamminess. The savory finish is energetic and long-lasting. This is a stunning Clos des Papes that ranks alongside the best wines of the vintage.Nicolas Greinacher13th June 2024
