Paul-Vincent AVRIL - Clos des Papes

Breaking News! January 2026: Paul-Vincent Avril is named Winemaker of the Year 2026 by Revue du Vin de France!

The Avril family has been based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape since 1600, and the first millésime of Clos des Papes dates back to 1896. It was signed by the great-grandfather of the current owner. The latter contributed greatly to the creation of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. His son Régis continued the family business by developing the reputation of Clos des Papes, notably by serving it at the Élysée Palace to General de Gaulle and then to Pompidou.

His grandson, Paul-Vincent, has been in charge of the estate since 1988. For almost 40 years, he has continued in the same vein, upholding tradition and producing great wines of impeccable quality that are perfect for ageing. He has resisted the temptation to select specific plots to produce a few ‘garage wines’, offering only one quality of red wine. This courageous choice makes each bottle of Clos des Papes unique, resulting from an exceptional and harmonious blend of complementary grape varieties and terroirs.
