Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape white 2025

Technical sheet written by the Domaine ) :

Clos des Papes white is a wine for aging, which can mature for 15 years or more in a good cellar. It can be enjoyed young, even in its second year, if one seeks aromas of citrus, dried fruits such as peach, pear, and apricot. It is important to know that afterwards, the wine will go through a more or less long period (5 to 7 years) of minerality; these fragrances will then give way to aromas of honey and toasted almonds, and candied fruits, which will intensify over time.
