The Clos des Papes offers us here a great red wine from the Rhône Valley in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the 2017 vintage.

This 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape red from Clos des Papes offers a beautiful ruby colour and a beautiful nose of strawberry and blackcurrant with floral notes, sweet spices and chocolate. It is opulent on the palate, balanced between aromatic intensity, elegance, controlled acidity and freshness, with a very long finish.

It will be the perfect accompaniment to game, a deer fillet, a venison leg, a roast boar with pepper sauce, a roasted woodcock, a pheasant terrine or lamb tapenade. And if you're patient, its ageing potential is very good, at least until 2035.

The Clos des Papes de Paul and Vincent Avril is an exceptional estate that received 3 stars in the guide of the Revue du Vin de France 2021. On 24 plots and 40 hectares, the estate produces superb red wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape made from 65% Grenache noir, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 5% a blend of Counoise, Vaccarèse and Muscardin.
