Run by successive generations of the Avril family, Clos des Papes has a long and illustrious history of producing exceptional quality wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In 1936 the Avril family was instrumental in the creation of the village appellation d`origin controlée - the first of its kind in France. Since 1988 Clos des Papes has been run by Paul-Vincent Avril, who maintains the property`s stellar reputation while producing just two wines. one red, one white. These wines are limited in quantity and always in high demand. "The classically styled 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape has plenty of the tell-tale kirsch and sweet spice notes that always seem to be present in Avril`s wines. Showing more mature notes of truffle, olive, liquorice and garrigue as it sat in the glass, it`s medium to full-bodied, elegant and balanced, with a great texture and finish." Wine Advocate, 2015
