Clos des Papes – World-Class Organic Wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Clos des Papes is one of the most prestigious estates of the Southern Rhône Valley. Located at the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, it has belonged to the Avril family for several generations and stands as a symbol of excellence and tradition. Today, Paul-Vincent Avril continues the family legacy with passion and rigor.

The vineyard covers about 35 hectares divided into some thirty parcels with varied soils, from rounded pebbles to sand and limestone. This mosaic of terroirs allows the domaine to showcase the full complexity of the appellation’s traditional grape varieties, with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre at the core of the blends.

The estate’s philosophy is based on meticulous and sustainable vineyard management, with controlled yields to ensure optimal concentration. In the cellar, winemaking is precise and minimally interventionist, aiming to reveal the identity of each vintage and the natural balance of the blends.

Clos des Papes wines are distinguished by their intensity, depth and exceptional ageing capacity. They combine power and elegance, offering a rich aromatic palette of ripe fruit and spices, with silky textures and remarkable length.

Celebrated by international critics and sought after worldwide, the wines of Domaine Clos des Papes rank among the finest references of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Southern Rhône Valley.
