Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 150cl 2017

15.1% abv

Vol- 150cl

The 2021 Clos des Papes Rouge has wonderfully fresh, concentrated nose of raspberries, blackberries and a subtle top note of sweet spice. The palate is supremely elegant with lashings of ripe, black and red hedgerow berries coming to the fore yet the waves of fruit are perfectly grounded by an earthy, herbaceous twist. The gorgeous flavours are perfectly complemented by a violet lift and the slightest hint of dark chocolate. Framing all this are simply incredible tannins. They are ultra-fine yet somehow manage still to have persistence and grip, pointing towards the long ageing potential of this wine despite its midweight feel. Not that Clos des Papes needs any comparison but there is a thought-provoking quality to the finish that is reminiscent of Burgundy. Glorious. Perfect. Drink 2025 to 2046.
“Leather and spiced notes, pure with good fresh vivacity on the nose. The palate is ripe and seductive, layered with forest fruits, dark spiced figs. Attractive refreshing acidity, red fruits and a wild garrigue savoury Mourvèdre note – the tannins are supple and silky – dark forest-fruits finish which is broad, ample and opulent but always with a finesse of tannins and a savoury liquorice mineral note. Drink 2027 – 2042 Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com (November 2022)

Paul Avril’s estate Clos du Papes is Rhône royalty and the wines produced here have a unique elegance and piercing aromatic expression that earns them a legendary reputation. Production is modern but eschews the use of new oak or filtering of any kind and, perhaps most importantly no super priced super cuvées – all the best fruit and wine making energy goes into creating the single sublime wine that has been produced here for over a century.
