CHATEAUNEUF OF THE POPE CLOSES OF THE 2017 POPES
PAUL APRIL
Grapes Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah
Area: 29 hectares.
Details Domain: Pioneer of the bottling on the property, the Avril family owns a domain, which despite its name of clos can rely on almost all the geological natures composing the appellation. She knows how to play this diversity and thus appears as one of the most regular wines, whatever the vintage.
Cellar storage: The best vintages usually require 5 8 years to flourish and are suitable for a very long guard.
Since 1996, the venerable Maison Delas Frères, whose roots go back to 1835, has regained the soul and sparkle that have contributed to its fame.
Under the impetus of the new management, numerous investments were made on the Saint-Jean-de-Muzols production site, near Tournon-sur-Rhône.
A motivated team proudly participates in the qualitative renewal of this Grande Maison in the Rhône Valley: a vat room specially designed for the vinification of red wines, the complete restructuring of the aging cellar are among the key elements of the House's quality approach. Delas, summed up in one sentence: to perpetuate and sublimate the expression of the Terroir.
On this AOC, located at the northern end of the Rhône Valley, the very famous cuvée "La Landonne" from Delas Frères (100% Syrah) is a plot selection whose production hardly exceeds 2.500 bottles per vintage, exclusively in the great years.Henry Bonneau
Grape: Grenache
The Henri Bonneau estate has 6 hectares of vines.
Henri Bonneau has always been considered one of the great winegrowers of Châteauneuf du Pape.
Still in his cellar, this discreet man was like a hermit.
He has always produced timeless wines with very long ageing.
This great winemaker left us in 2016.

The Domaine des Remizières has been a family business for several generations. At its beginning, the farm had 4 hectares of vines, part of the harvest was delivered in cooperative cellar. From 1973, vinification is done entirely on the estate. Since then, the estate has grown considerably as it currently reaches 35 hectares. At the beginning, Alphonse manages the property. Then Philippe, his son, settles in 1977 and decides to market all the production in bottles. Expansion and modernization work is then done little by little. In 2005, Emilie, with her degree in oenology in her pocket, joins her father. In 2009, Christophe, Emilie's brother, joined the estate after obtaining his BTS viticulture / oenology. It's a family job with a will and well-defined tasks.

Rooted in Ampuis for many generations, this family has always worked in the Côte-Rôtie vineyard. By taking over from his father Michel in 1998, he chose to do specific work on his different terroirs in order to reveal the uniqueness of these places full of history.
Côte-Blonde, But de Mont, Lancement, Côte-Rôzier, Champon, Besset ... this vineyard is rich in a mosaic of plots located in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie whose soil diversity and the northernmost climate of the Valley du Rhône gives the wines an incredible finesse. As close as possible to the vineyard, it strives to reveal the typical elegance of this appellation. The range he offers is therefore faithful to his roots and represents, for him, the culmination of a long history and fascinating daily work.
