Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Clos des Papes 2000

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000 is a mature, full-bodied red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Run by successive generations of the Avril family, Clos des Papes has a long and illustrious history of producing exceptional quality wine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The property is located in the heart of the appellation, on a south-facing slope with well-drained, stony soil. "The Burgundian-styled 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape is drinking at point today. Possessing beautiful notes of forest floor, truffles, spice, garrigue and sweet cherry and kirsch like fruit, this beauty has notable freshness and purity, medium to full-bodied richness, fine tannin and a layered, integrated texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. There`s no need to delay gratification here and I`d enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2015
