2024 Clos des Papes

Le Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc Clos des Papes 2024 embodies an exacting and singular vision of white wine from the southern Rhône. Produced by Domaine Clos des Papes, a benchmark name for the appellation, it brings together in equal parts the six historic white grape varieties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Grenache blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, and Picardan. This diversity of grape variety gives the wine body, aromatic finesse, tension, and a remarkable freshness. Derived from a blend of different terroirs within the appellation, this white expresses the complexity of the chalky-clay soils of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The harvests are done by hand with careful selection, while vinification favors the preservation of fruit and balance: fermentation and élevage in tank, without malolactic fermentation, to preserve the natural acidity and liveliness of the wine. To look at, Clos des Papes white 2024 presents a beautiful pale yellow robe with bright reflections. On the nose, there are aromas of white peach, pear, white flowers, citrus fruits, and lightly herbaceous notes, supported by an elegant mineral dimension. On the palate, the attack is supple and fleshy, then the wine gains tension thanks to a good freshness and a saline, precise, and persistent finish. It is a gastronomic Châteauneuf-du-Pape white, deeper and more structured than a simple “wine to be enjoyed right away,” yet it remains of great elegance. It will pair perfectly with line-caught fish, poultry in a creamy sauce, a mushroom risotto, veal blanquette, or a goat cheese aged. Its discreet richness and tension also make it an excellent companion for refined Mediterranean cuisine. Thanks to its balance between density, acidity, and minerality, this 2024 vintage has lovely aging potential: it can be enjoyed young for its fruit and freshness, but will gain complexity, honey notes, beeswax, and toasted nuances over the years. A rare cuvée, sought after by lovers of great white wines from the Rhône and ideal for enriching a cellar.
