2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Clos des Papes, Paul Avril & Fils, Rhône

Description

The 2021 Clos des Papes Rouge has a wonderfully fresh, concentrated nose of raspberries and blackberries with a subtle top note of sweet spice. The palate is defined by its supreme elegance. Ripe, black and red hedgerow berries come to the fore, yet the waves of fruit are perfectly grounded by an earthy, herbaceous twist and simply incredible tannins. 

Sweet, fresh, wild raspberries and earthy blackberries linger on the long finish, which moves into a subtly floral bouquet, steadily releasing delicate notes of violets and scented lilac. Not that Clos des Papes needs any comparison, but there is a thought-provoking quality to the finish reminiscent of Burgundy.

About this wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The largest and most important appellation in the southern Rhône, with more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers, Châteauneuf-du-Pape produces more wine than the whole of the northern Rhône combined. The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several of the 14 permitted grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
