Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes Blanc 2023
A stunning expression of Paul-Vincent Avril’s masterful touch, the 2023 Clos des Papes Blanc showcases the rare elegance and balance of this southern Rhône white. Crafted from a traditional blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Picpoul, it beautifully captures the vibrancy and minerality of the 2023 vintage.
The bouquet opens with aromas of pear, white peach, and acacia blossom, evolving toward honeysuckle, citrus zest, and almond cream. On the palate, it is rich yet impeccably balanced, with a silky texture, bright acidity, and lingering mineral finish. Notes of stone fruit and subtle spice unfold gracefully with each sip.
A wine of depth, purity, and finesse — the Clos des Papes Blanc 2023 is both captivating in its youth and built for graceful aging.
