Note di degustazione
The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is composed of all the white varietals permitted in Chateauneuf du Pape. Although it is not put through malolactic fermentation and sees no oak whatsoever, this cuvee has proven to age remarkably well. The 2011 exhibits lots of poached pear, honeysuckle, quince and white currants as well as a full-bodied, powerful (15.6% natural alcohol) style. It reveals lots of glycerin along with wonderful freshness, acidity and purity. The 2011 should last for 10-12 years. This admirably run estate has essentially been practicing biodynamic farming for nearly 15 years, but they were not certified as biodynamic until 2011.

Upfront and perfumed, the 2011 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a classic southern Rhône white that offers up clean citrus, peach, licorice, and edgy mineral-like qualities to go with a medium to full-bodied, supple palate. Showing the freshness and suppleness of the vintage, with a full-bodied, textured palate, excellent acidity, and a classy, yet approachable feel, this knockout Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc will drink well for a decade or more.

Informazioni sul produttore
Few estates have shaped the identity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape quite like Clos des Papes. For generations, the Avril family has remained devoted to a single benchmark cuvée, crafted from more than twenty vineyard parcels to express the appellation at its finest.
