Clos des Papes is renowned for a beautifully elegant version of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family has been producing Chateauneuf-du-Pape since the 1600s and now farm 35 hectares biodynamically in the heart of the commune. Predominantly Grenache with 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and of 5% of other varieties add a subtle spicing; no new oak is used so the fruit shows all its purity and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are highly regarded for their red wines but they also make an outstanding Chateauneuf Blanc. Clos des Papes’ Chateauneuf Blanc blends equal proportions of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Picardin, Piquepoul and Roussanne and the wines doesn’t go through malolactic fermentation, which makes this a fresher version of the classic rich style of white Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and a wine of real class.

Rather than simply highlight the best score to promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaverage critic score or better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut.

We believe that an average score is a more conservative and representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add individual critic scores to our website in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"100% Grenache Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55575575167352,"sku":"CBPACP19","price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5452\/6614\/files\/red-wine-paul-avril-clos-des-papes-cdp-blanc-chateauneuf-du-pape-2019-34871063904406.jpg?v=1780607825","url":"https:\/\/www.theperfectbottle.com\/products\/paul-avril-clos-des-papes-cdp-blanc-chateauneuf-du-pape-2019","provider":"The Perfect Bottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
