A legend in high demand. The Clos Des Papes is one of the greatest and most famous Chateauneuf du Pape produced today. It offers dense complexity and richness, combined with extreme elegance, and a prospect of two-plus decades in cellar. This fine and "not at all overblown" red delivers Rhone richness to the Burgundy palate.
99+/100 Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"The 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos des Papes is exquisite, wafting from the glass with a captivating bouquet of sweet red berries, iris, dark cherries, menthol, blood orange and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and textured, it’s denser than usual, with a more pronounced structure and a lovely, fleshy core of fruit. Concluding with an ethereal, saline and weightless finish, this is a strong candidate for wine of the vintage—one that should evolve with grace over the coming years to attain a likely perfect score."
95-97/100 Jeb Dunnuck (2022 Vintage)
"A beautiful looking barrel sample, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape is deep purple-hued with a classic 2023 profile of darker berry fruits, peppery garrigue, and spices. It's concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, seamless profile, ripe tannins, and a great finish."
95/100 Nocolas Greinacher, Vinous (2022 Vintage)
"Cassis pastilles, licorice, ripe blackberry, herbal tones and peppery accents introduce the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which was bottled in May 2025. Gently wrapped around smooth tannins with less apparent structure than the preceding 2022 vintage, the 2023 is an open-knit, accessible but ageworthy red Clos des Papes, hitting the palate with boatloads of jammy strawberry flavors. Juicy and smooth, the 2023 is one of the sexiest Clos des Papes in recent history and totally worth the hunt."
