Wine Information

As early as 1896 Paul Avril's grandfather started bottling wine under the mark Clos des Papes and today Clos des Papes is considered one of the appellation's reference-point wines.

The property has around 35 ha. 3 ha. is of white varieties and 5 ha. is for their vin de table, petit vin d'avril. 24 different parcels are spread around the town.

The wine making objective here is the maximum expression of terroir. Fermentations and macerations, in large vats, usually take three weeks. The wines spend most of their early life in tank, and then in late spring after the vintage, they are moved to large wood foudres. After 14-15 months, the wines are assembled and bottle without filtration. Since the mid-1990's the Avril's have destemmed all grape varieties.

clos des papes

The annual production for the red Clos des Papes is 100,000 bottles, with the cepage being 65% grenache, 20% mouvedre, 10% syrah and %5 other grape varietals.
