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.
