clos des papes blanc 2018
Reference: 5119Stock: 2 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"the clos des papes is one of the historic estates of châteauneuf-du-pape, with a history marked by the remarkable continuity of the avril family. one of its members was first consul of the city in 1756. thanks to this male lineage, it is still the avril family that holds the reins of this emblematic estate, whose original terroir is nestled under the papal castle. after his grandfather, who worked for the birth of the appellation, paul avril brought the estate to the top of its reputation. a true guardian of the temple of tradition, he resisted passing fashions and demonstrated the validity of natural balance. paul avril left at the age of 72 in 2009, his son paul-vincent took over the reins of clos des papes, in strict continuity of these 32 hectares of vines (divided into 24 parcels, with very different terroirs). a very pretty, bright lemon yellow colour. on the nose, we smell fruit aromas (citrus, pear) with floral touches (white flowers). the palate is very supple and tasty, with candied fruit and some dried fruit. the whole is well balanced and held together by a beautiful minerality and a pleasant tension. to be aired at least 1 hour before drinking to fully appreciate it."
