2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Clos des Papes, Paul Avril & Fils, Rhône

Description

Vincent Avril is absolutely delighted by his 2019 red wine, comparing it with the great vintages of 2016 and 2010. He comments that it is extremely balanced: powerful, certainly, but characterised by finesse and silkiness. Vincent makes clear that the only word that matters to him is qualité; Clos des Papes always reflects exactly what nature has given the vines. Drink 2024-2045+.

About this wine

Paul Avril et Fils

With Vincent Avril at the helm, Clos des Papes is one of the most highly regarded properties; not only in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but in the world of wine. This family estate has been certified organic for 15 years, with high attention to detail translating into impressively low production levels. Given that the vines here average over 50 years of age, they are firmly prepared and able to withstand many ordeals, including Mistral winds at 140 kilometres an hour, severe heatwaves and drought conditions. Thankfully, they were spared from the latter two in 2020.
