2011 Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos Des Papes, Rhone

Captivating individuality in every sip

The complexity of the wine’s layered dimensions is driven not merely by its composition of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache blended to perfection but also by the unique weather conditions; a fairly dry vintage coupled with an unusually warm fall that defined its origins in Rhone in late 2011.

The fragrance is lusciously filled with haunting aromas of dark cherry and spice unfolding to deeper notes of licorice and black raspberry. It speaks eloquently of its pedigree, hinting at the granite and sandstone soils it hails from - a harmonious marriage of terroir and grape.

Nature's serendipity shapes an investable asset

The uniqueness of this wine does not end with its origin; it’s drawn right through to the well-articulated finish with a serene undercurrent of minerality coursing through each sip. This elegant expression is a testament to the fine-tuning art employed by Clos Des Papes throughout wine production.

For discerning investors, there lies great potential in the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape for its ability to age well while broadening its flavour profile due to its solid structure and good acidity.

Auburn autumn, compelling wines

Although Rhone experienced drought conditions in 2011, it turned out to define the vintage, harnessing an unusually auburn autumn to mature the grapes beyond their typical flavour profiles resulting in a wine of incredible depth and finesse.

The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape from Clos Des Papes stands as an impressive vinous monument to this fertile region's unique, climatic quirks and its own inherent potential as a compelling investment opportunity.
