Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider September - 2018
Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
The spicy cherries might be the first thing you notice, but it only gets better from there with all the flowers, pepper, herbs and kirsch that kicks in from there. Full bodied, rich, concentrated and luxurious in texture, the sensuous layers of cherry, plum and kirsch seem endless as they build and expand in the finish. The fruit has a beautiful purity and intensity that makes you want to taste it again and again. There is a hint of licorice and salinity in the finish that comes out with air. The wine is a blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the remaining 5% consists of various, allowable grape varieties. This is a monumental vintage for Clos des Papes that should not be missed by fans of this wine

Green Guide 2019 A fine definition of southern fruit: oregano, bay leaf, macerated fruits. The aromatic ensemble is precise without presenting the stewed character of the vintage. The palate shows substance with fine dimension and a fleshy impression. A harmonious wine, with integrated tannins and a balanced palate. Peak: 2030

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is full-bodied but balanced, with plenty of richness and concentration but also a certain paradoxical lightness. It offers complex garrigue and anise notes, a blend of cherry and raspberry fruit, a silky texture and a long finish that shows no sign of the wine's 15.8% alcohol. For technocrats, the wine's pH is 3.7, which is sufficient acidity to maintain a fine sense of balance. This lovely wine should drink well for at least two decades. Together with the 2015 and the 2017, it will be a compelling trio of wines to follow over the year

Very youthful and tightly focused now, featuring a lovely beam of cassis, cherry preserve and raspberry pâte de fruit notes leading the way, backed by light floral, bergamot, anise and apple wood accents. The fruit is warm and caressing, with solid grip and drive through the finish due to a buried graphite element. Stays alluring, with lots of subtle charm, despite the density and layers. This will cruise in the cellar.

Château Clos Des Papes
Clos Des Papes

Clos des Papes is one of the most emblematic estates of 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 Châteauneuf-du-Pape soils.

Now led 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 blending 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 plantings dominated by Grenache, complemented by a significant proportion of Mourvèdre, as well as Syrah and other traditional grape varieties. Yields are deliberately kept low and vine selection is particularly rigorous.

The wines of Clos des Papes are distinguished by their depth, balance, and remarkable aging potential, combining controlled power with natural elegance. Among the iconic vintages are 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.
