There are few producers in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, let alone the Rhone, that are as revered as vigneron Paul Avril. His winery Clos des Papes is one of CDPs most important. So many things distinguish this winery from its peers. Consistently, though few wineries gain as many across the board accolades for they cuvees than does Clos des Papes. I think what helps, the recipe is consistent. Show one red and one white from your estate. Don't peel off fruit for a micro-release cuvee that may diminish the estate wine. Just make your wine the best way you can with what the vintage gives you, year-after-year. It's a true recipe for success and the 2023 ranks with the best and brightest of the 2023 vintage (which you can say about every vintage, too). Another not to be missed wine that will surely bring years of pleasure as it continues to develop and grow.
