2025, Domaine Paul Avril, CLOS DES PAPES, BlancClos des Papes Blanc 2025 stands among the finest white wines of the Southern Rhne a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Picardan, Bourboulenc and Piquepoul. A rare, elegant and timeless white. "Clos des Papes blanc 2025 is quite floral, but as is often the case, it also has a hint of aniseed. On the palate, there's grapefruit, minerality and a very saline touch. This is a wine you can enjoy young with these aromas, or age in the same way

concluding with a pure

loaded with graphite

It shows the fresher

Initially a little reserved

finishing long and earthy

aged in old foudres

Very harmonious and tensile on the finish

understated young wines I can remember tasting here

this wine is always celestial

quite a robust style of white-fruited Chevalier-Montrachet

as it is released too early for a wine of its stature and potential
