Description

Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2021

Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape Red is a wine that has a lot of freshness despite its generosity and aromatic persistence. Raspberry and cherry as well as spices are present and come with silky tannins. This Chateauneuf du Pape by Clos des Papes announces once again a great vintage, with great presence and elegance. However, there is less power than on the previous vintage, while keeping a wine on the fruit.

Critical Acclaim

95 Jeb Dunnuck

One of the standouts in the vintage is the 2021 Chteauneuf Du Pape, a ripe, round, medium to full-bodied 2021 offering a beautiful array of black cherry and darker berry fruits, ample Provenal spice, and dried flower nuances. Wonderfully textured and balanced, with ripe tannins, as usual, Vincent has made one of the wines of the vintage. This will evolve gracefully for 15+ years.

95 Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Cherries, raspberries and truffles appear on the nose of the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape, which weighs in at 15.1% alcohol. Showing ample concentration and length, this medium to full-bodied effort isn’t quite as well endowed as the 2022, but it’s still a gorgeous wine, framed by silky tannins and finishing with bright, pomegranate-like fruit.
