Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a red Rhône blend from the Southern Rhône. This 2010 magnum represents one of the most acclaimed vintages in the history of the estate, known for its incredible balance and potential for long-term cellaring. The Avril family uses a high proportion of Grenache, supplemented by Mourvèdre and Syrah, all co-fermented in large foudres. Unlike many producers in the region, they do not produce special cuvées, ensuring all the best fruit goes into this single bottling. It offers complex notes of kirsch, garrigue and fine black pepper.
