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 blend of the domaine (variable depending on the vintage):

• 55% Grenache
• 30% Mourvèdre
• 10% Syrah
• 5% Counoise, Muscardin, and Vaccarèse

Soil nature: Miocene terrain covered by alpine diluvium from the plateaus or terrace diluvium, excluding 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.
