An iconic estate; an iconic wine, always wonderfully warm and silky in style.

The Avril family are owner-producers with a 90 hectare estate. Clos-des-Papes' first vintage was in 1896. Since then, the Domaine has passed down through four generations - to present day vigneron Vincent Avril who took over in 2009. Vincent trained in both Burgundy and at Mouton-Rothschild before returning home.

These are wines that are forth-coming in their youth and incredible with some age on them. Ideal for long lunches and at dinner-time – rich, suave and always perfectly balanced.
