Review

"Cropped at a minuscule 16 hl/ha, the promising 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at 15.1% alcohol. Boasting a whopping 45% Mourvèdre within the total blend, this is a lip-smackingly spicy, fleshy and black-fruited Clos des Papes with stunning intensity. Complex and expressive, the full-bodied 2024 is shaped by ripe tannins and packs notable tension alongside measured opulence, maintaining striking overall balance at all times. Without a doubt, the 2024 Clos des Papes is a candidate for the wine of the vintage." - 94-96pts, Vinous
