Label of 1999 Paul Avril Clos des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape

  • 1999 Paul Avril Clos des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape

  • Rhone, France
      • Avg Price (ex-tax)
      • $ 113 / 750ml
    • Red - Rich and Intense

    • This producer also makes a white wine. Ensure your merchant has the color you are looking for.

      Critic tasting note: "On the fresh, bright, crisp and floral side, the cherries are still sweet, crisp, floral and elegant. The finish offers an elegant, bright, kirsch filled note. Not the deepest or more concentrated wine from the estate, but it is among the more refined and charming vintages produced here." - 92/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
