Produced from very low yields and raised without new oak, it captures the power, finesse, and age-worthy character that have made Clos des Papes one of the most respected names in the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine typically shows a deep ruby to garnet color, hinting at its richness and concentration. The nose is complex and layered, with ripe dark berries, black cherry, dried herbs, garrigue, spice, and earthy notes that unfold with time in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet balanced by supple tannins and vibrant fruit. Expect flavors of blackberry, plum, licorice, pepper, and warm Mediterranean herbs, supported by a long, persistent finish. While enjoyable on release, this vintage has the structure to age beautifully for many years, with 5–8 years or more often bringing added harmony and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the Rhône terroir brings together sun-baked stones, old vines, and the region’s signature heat-retaining soils. Yields are kept extremely low at around 12–15 hl\/ha, helping to concentrate flavor and preserve intensity in the fruit. Vinification is traditional, with no emphasis on new oak; instead, the wine is aged in large old foudres and cement tanks to protect its pure, terroir-driven style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roast lamb, game, beef stew, duck, or herb-crusted meats, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C for the best expression of its aromas and texture. Decanting is recommended, especially if enjoyed young, to allow the wine to open and show its full depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Papes is one of the great reference estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a history dating back to 1896 when the family was already bottling under its own label. Paul Avril, an important figure in the creation of the appellation, helped shape the region’s identity, and today his grandson Paul-Vincent Avril continues that legacy with great success. The estate has long been known for its traditional, biodynamic and organic approach, and has been certified organic since 2011. Robert Parker has called Clos des Papes “one of the reference point estates for traditional, age-worthy Châteauneuf du Pape,” a recognition that reflects its enduring importance in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Des Papes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122403909874,"sku":"FW-1963","price":210.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/produkt-grid_163_5.png?v=1777475878","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/clos-des-papes-chateauneuf-du-pape-2009","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
