Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
This is really drinking in the sweet spot. the showy nose, with its ripe and over ripe cherries, kirsch, pepper and garrigue starts you up, and the boatload of perfectly ripe, red fruits, spice and herbs, coupled with wild, silky textures finishes the job.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
From the normal tiny yields of this estate (on the order of 22 hectoliters per hectare), the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape from Paul-Vincent has shed its baby fat and now shows a supple, elegant, seamless profile that's hard to resist. Kirsch, licorice, garrigue and sweet spice all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced 2006. It benefits from a short decant, and while showing plenty of maturity, it will evolve gracefully for at least another decade.

Château Clos Des Papes
Clos Des Papes

Clos des Papes is one of the most emblematic estates of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the southern Rhône Valley. A historic property of the Avril family, it has embodied for several decades a demanding vision deeply rooted in the terroirs of the appellation. The estate has established itself as an essential reference through the consistency of its style, the precision of its viticultural choices, and a comprehensive understanding of Châteauneuf-du-Pape soils.

Now led by Paul-Vincent Avril, named Winemaker of the Year 2026 by La Revue des Vins de France, Clos des Papes exemplifies an approach based on blending terroirs and grape varieties, considered the very essence of the appellation. The estate produces a single cuvée, in both red and white, without segmentation, a rare choice that reinforces the consistency and identity of the wines.

The vineyard extends over approximately 35 hectares, predominantly planted with red varieties, with plantings dominated by Grenache, complemented by a significant proportion of Mourvèdre, as well as Syrah and other traditional grape varieties. Yields are deliberately kept low and vine selection is particularly rigorous.

The wines of Clos des Papes are distinguished by their depth, balance, and remarkable aging potential, combining controlled power with natural elegance. Among the iconic vintages are Clos des Papes 1990, Clos des Papes 2001, Clos des Papes 2006, Clos des Papes 2007, Clos des Papes 2010, Clos des Papes 2011, and Clos des Papes 2016.
