Paul Avril

Founded in 1896 by Paul Vincent Avril, Clos des Papes is one of France's premier wine brands, offering exceptional vintages that celebrate the heritage, luxury, and quality of premium Chateauneuf-due-Pape appellations. Keeping to the traditional methods and vinification that have established the Paul Avril brand, Clos des Papes averages roughly 100,000 bottles per year, with limited production to ensure exclusivity and superior craftsmanship. Offering various releases that include both Chateauneuf de Pape Rouge and Blanc - featuring carefully harvested Grenache, Syrah, and Bourboulence varietals among others - Clos de Papes continues to make history under the Avril family name, with director Paul Vincent Avril (Jr.) at the helm.
