Paul Avril Clos des Papes is a historic estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, whose history is intimately linked to that of the famous appellation in the southern Rhône Valley. The Avril family has been rooted in this terroir since the 15th century, contributing to the development of local viticulture in the shadow of the Popes' castle.
The vineyard spans a mosaic of plots, totaling approximately 32 hectares. This fragmentation is one of the keys to the complexity of the estate's wines. The appellation's traditional grape varieties, such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, are grown on varied soils, benefiting from generous sunshine and the specific microclimate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Over the generations, Clos des Papes has managed to preserve its identity, remaining faithful to cultivation and winemaking methods that respect the terroir. The estate thus continues to produce wines that reflect the authenticity and richness of this prestigious cru.
