Tasting Notes

"Dark, inviting and very alluring, with captivating black tea, charred mesquite and kirsch aromas and flavors allied to a remarkably silky mouthfeel. Superlong, with mineral, violet, pepper and additional crushed cherry and plum fruit notes all gliding through the finish. Shows none of the difficulties of the vintage-arguably the best property in the appellation right now. Best from 2011 through 2027 - J.M." The Wine Spectator, 95 points.

Producer Information

Father and son duo, Paul and Vincent Avril run this legendary domaine in the Southern Rhone which produces equally worthy white wines as reds. Vincent's training in Burgundy has built finesse into an appellation known for its depth and power. This is benchmark Chateauneuf du Pape against which all others are judged - it doesn't get any better than this.
