Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape red 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

With its composition and character, Clos des Papes red is an exceptional roasted wine, also highly appreciated with game, venison, and cheeses. Since the 1988 vintage, our wines are no longer filtered, which enhances their aging potential. However, a deposit may appear in the bottle. This is by no means a quality defect. Simply decant the bottle before serving.

Grape variety of the domaine (variable by vintage):

• 55% grenache
• 30% mourvèdre
• 10% syrah
• 5% counoise, muscardin, and vaccarèse

Nature of the soils: Miocene terrain covered by the alpine diluvium of the plateaus or the diluvium of the terraces, excluding the Rhône alluvium. The soils are often covered with pebbles that store heat during the day and release it at night, promoting the ripening of the grapes.
