Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
A vintage that Avril is selling to restaurants as he thinks it's drinking beautifully (and I agree), the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has superb freshness and minerality in its honeyed, hazelnut, liquorice and stone fruit-driven bouquet. Layered, pure and balanced, with both freshness and richness, it will continue to evolve nicely, but there's no need to hold off.

Château Clos Des Papes
Clos Des Papes

Clos des Papes is one of the most iconic estates in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the southern Rhône Valley. A historic property of the Avril family, it has embodied for several decades a demanding vision deeply rooted in the terroirs of the appellation. The estate has established itself as an essential reference through the consistency of its style, the precision of its viticultural choices and a comprehensive understanding of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape soils.

Now run by Paul-Vincent Avril, named Winemaker of the Year 2026 by La Revue des Vins de France, Clos des Papes exemplifies an approach based on the blending of terroirs and grape varieties, considered the very essence of the appellation. The estate produces a single cuvée, in both red and white, without segmentation, a rare choice that reinforces the consistency and identity of the wines.

The vineyard extends over approximately 35 hectares, predominantly planted with red varieties, with grape varieties dominated by Grenache, complemented by a significant proportion of Mourvèdre, as well as Syrah and other traditional varieties. Yields are deliberately kept low and selection in the vineyard is particularly rigorous.

The wines of Clos des Papes stand out for their depth, balance and great ageing potential, combining controlled power with natural elegance. Notable iconic vintages include Clos des Papes 1990, Clos des Papes 2001, Clos des Papes 2006, Clos des Papes 2007, Clos des Papes 2010, Clos des Papes 2011 and Clos des Papes 2016.
