The Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc from Clos Des Papes is an eminent example of viticulture from the Rhône Valley. This white wine is composed of a meticulously selected blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc grapes, which imparts a distinctive character and complex structure.

On the nose, the Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc reveals an intense aromatic bouquet, with notes of white flowers, peach, honey, and subtle hints of vanilla from its maturation in barrels. On the palate, it offers a surprising balance between freshness and creaminess, with an elegant minerality and a long, persistent finish that reflects the quality of the terroir.

Ideal for accompanying refined dishes such as seafood risottos, baked fish, or roast chicken with aromatic herbs. Its complexity and elegance also make it perfect as a meditation wine.

This wine is known for its aging potential, evolving beautifully over several years if stored under optimal conditions. Connoisseurs will find it interesting to observe how its flavors and aromas develop over time. A must-have for enthusiasts of high-end French white wines.

Winery history
The estate has been linked to the Avril family for generations: historical documents and accounts record the presence of the Avrils in the area as far back as earlier centuries and the start of commercialization under the name Clos des Papes around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In recent decades the estate has remained family-run under Paul‑Vincent Avril, who has preserved the estate's traditional approach.
Production philosophy
A pursuit of finesse and balance: careful winemaking to highlight the dispersed parcels within the appellation, hand-harvested grapes, rigorous selection and cellar practices oriented toward minimal intervention to express the character of the terroir. Production is focused on a single large red cuvée and a small percentage of white.
Terroir and vineyards
The vines are located in the heart of the Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape appellation, on fragmented parcels scattered around the commune — including the historic vineyard next to the Papal Castle. The area's characteristic soils and terroirs contribute to the wines' complexity.
