Masterfully crafted by Paul-Vincent Avril from a highly sorted blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, this vintage showcases remarkable freshness, purity, and tension. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby hue, opening with incredibly seductive and perfumed aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry, and wild redcurrant, gracefully layered with delicate nuances of lilac, iris, smoked incense, and peppery Provençal spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, dense, and concentrated, delivering a solid, pure core of dark and red fruit beautifully interwoven with savory herbs and crushed stone minerality. This richness is perfectly framed by a vibrant, marked acidity and finely grained, velvety tannins, culminating in a complex, ethereal, and extraordinarily long finish that promises decades of graceful evolution in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Pairs beautifully with a roasted rack of lamb, savory venison stew, classic beef bourguignon, robust wild mushroom dishes, and mature artisanal cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mnmd-review__summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery different from the 2022 vintage, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos des Papes is deeper and more powerful. It reveals delicate aromas of flowers, iris, lilac and spices, intertwined with lovely peppery notes. Full-bodied, concentrated and dense, it displays the estate’s characteristic tension but with perfectly controlled power that brings a richer, solid core of fruit. The finish is long, ethereal and peppery, complemented by velvety tannins that promise graceful aging.
