Now led by his wife Lena and children Maria and Giovanni, the winery continues its legacy. The wine has an intense, persistent, and very pleasant bouquet.

Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2011
Paul Vincent Avril joined the family domaine in 1988. Blessed with 32 hectares of old vines – many up to 80 years old. This wide spread terroir accounts for the signature complexity in his wine, of which he only produces one single label, eschewing a common practice of many vignerons in the region to bottle a prestige cuvee so he can focus his efforts on pursuing the finest expression of Chateauneuf du Pape that he can. Grenache as always will make up the majority of his assemblage with pursuit, finesse rather than power.
