Clos des Papes 2005 Magnum, crafted by Clos des Papes in France’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is a refined Grenache-based blend from a classic 2005 vintage. The bouquet showcases blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with notes of spice, garrigue, and earthy minerality. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the concentrated fruit. Layers of licorice, leather, and herbs add complexity, while the finish is long and elegant. Clos des Papes’ biodynamic winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and finesse. Perfect for grand occasions, this magnum pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or game, making it a collector’s treasure that reflects Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s terroir and offers a sophisticated drinking experience.
