Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009 Magnum

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009 Magnum is a benchmark example of classic Southern Rhône power and finesse. Produced from Grenache and Mourvèdre by one of the appellation’s most respected names, this wine reflects a long tradition of serious, age-worthy winemaking in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine typically shows a deep garnet colour with remarkable concentration for the vintage. The nose is layered and expressive, offering ripe dark berries, cherry liqueur, dried herbs, spice, and subtle earthy notes, with the magnum format helping preserve freshness and complexity over time. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, with ripe fruit, supple tannins, and the kind of balance that comes from careful vineyard work and restrained élevage. The 2009 vintage is known for its richness and warmth, yet Clos des Papes brings a sense of structure and precision that supports long ageing. In magnum, this wine should continue to evolve beautifully for many years, gaining even more nuance and harmony.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the vineyards benefit from the region’s warm Mediterranean climate, sun-drenched slopes, and famous galets roulés that help retain heat and promote ripening. Yields are kept very low, around 12-15 hl/ha, ensuring concentration and intensity in the final wine. Harvesting is carried out with a traditional approach, and vinification remains classic and minimal intervention, with ageing in large old foudres and cement tanks rather than new oak to preserve purity and terroir expression.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with slow-roasted lamb, game, braised beef, duck confit, or rich Mediterranean dishes with herbs and olives. It also works well with aged cheeses and hearty mushroom-based recipes. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant for 1-2 hours if drinking young, or even longer if you want to open up the full aromatic complexity of the magnum.

Tuottaja
Clos des Papes is one of the great reference estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a history dating back to 1896 when wine was already being sold under its own label. Paul Avril played an important role in the creation of the appellation, and today the estate is led by his grandson, Paul-Vincent Avril. Known for its traditional style, organic certification since 2011, and long-standing biodynamic and organic practices, Clos des Papes has earned a reputation as one of the region’s most respected producers, with praise from critics such as Robert Parker for its age-worthy, classic wines.
