Clos des Papes is one of the great estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, named after one the property's walled vineyards (clos) that is in proximity to the pope’s castle. The family has been living in the village for centuries and were among the founders of the appellation for the village. It is currently run by winemaker Paul-Vincent Avril who has been at the helm since he completed wine school in Burgundy in the 1980’s. Since, Paul-Vincent has strived to make the best single example of the region, producing only one red wine and one white wine and being one of the few estates to use all permitted grapes for each. The property consists of forty hectares, three of which are planted to white varietals. The thirty separate parcels are farmed organically, harvests are performed manually and all parcels are vinified separately with native yeasts. Yields are kept extremely low, about one third to half of what the appellation allows. Their red wines are aged in large wooden foudres for 18 months; the whites are aged on their lees for 5 months with no malolactic fermentation.

The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is showing beautifully, with the sun-kissed style of the vintage yet more depth and density than most in the vintage. Blackberries, Provençal garrigue, spice, and saddle leather all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with the classic elegance of the estate in its medium to full-bodied, layered, multi-dimensional style. It's one of the wines of the vintage and will have two decades of longevity.

A silky, textural and harmonious red with notes of dark cherries, fresh blackberries, dried thyme, currants and some mild spices. It's medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Elegant and graceful, silky and bright. Fresh center palate with plenty of vitality and a caressing texture. Precise and harmonious with a pure expression of fruit at the center and a vibrant, spicy finish. Drink or hold.

The alluring 2022 Choteauneuf-du-Pape won me over in a heartbeat. Vivid licorice, sage, blueberry, lavender, red and black cherry as well as crushed flowers hail from the glass. Full-bodied and intense, the 2022 packs ample flavor concentration yet always maintains balance through lifting freshness. Polished tannins neatly structure this ambitious 2022 that has the potential to age gracefully for at least two decades.
