      Grenache forms the core of the blend, supported by Mourvèdre and Syrah, with smaller contributions from Counoise, Vaccarèse, Muscardin and Cinsault. Each variety plays a measured role: Grenache provides breadth and warmth, Mourvèdre brings structure and depth, and Syrah adds spice and definition. The diversity of the estate’s sites, from the galet covered plateau of La Crau to the finer sandy and limestone soils surrounding the village, builds a layered complexity into the final cuvée.

      All grapes were destemmed, fermented in traditional vats and matured in large neutral foudres to protect fruit purity. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, the 2023 stands out for its seamless texture and fine tuned energy. It is a vintage of quiet concentration, dense in flavour but not in weight, designed to evolve over decades while remaining beautifully composed in its youth.

      Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023

      Exquisite… wafting from the glass with a captivating bouquet of sweet red berries, iris, dark cherries, menthol, blood orange and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and textured, denser than usual, with a lovely, fleshy core of fruit… a strong candidate for wine of the vintage.

      — Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate, 99+ points

      Deeply coloured and quite dark in character… generous, full-bodied, quite spicy and fairly potent, with lovely bright, sappy acidity and very fine, soft tannins.

      — Matt Walls, Decanter, 97 points

      Ripe black fruits, cassis pastilles, liquorice, garrigue and herbal elements are all pushed forward… framed by smooth tannins, the full-bodied 2023 jumps at you right away, with gorgeous purity of fruit and lifting freshness.

      — Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, 94–96 points

      Clos Des Papes

      Clos des Papes is one of the most renowned estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a history of producing remarkable wines under the guidance of Paul-VincentAvril. The estate has been bottling its own wine since 1896 and is celebrated for its authentic, long-lived expressions of the appellation. Covering approximately 80 acres, Clos des Papes includes 24 plots, each boasting some of the finest terroir in Châteauneuf. The geographical diversity of the vineyards allows for optimal ripeness at harvest and the flexibility to combine different grape varieties, producing both red and white wines designed for aging. Yields are kept low at 28 hl/hectare, and the grapes undergo strict sorting to ensure the highest quality.
