Clos des Papes: Winemaker of the Year

It's been a big few months for Clos Des Papes. In October they picked up the top rating of all the 2023 Châteauneufs with a 99+ score in The Wine Advocate. And now owner and winemaker Paul-Vincent Avril has been named Winemaker Of The Year by the prestigious French publication, La Revue Du Vin De France. One of the most remarkable things about Paul-Vincent is that he farms 35 hectares across 24 parcels around Châteauneuf yet produces just one red and one white each year. And is almost always in the conversation for wine of the vintage. As Jeb Dunnuck has said many times, 'it’s almost impossible to have too much Clos des Papes in the cellar!'
