The Avril family is one of the oldest in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and have ancestors who were the First Consuls and Treasurers of the town from 1756 to 1790. Along with Baron Le Roy de Boiseaumarie and other wine-growers, they were the originators of the rules which were to serve as a basis for the Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée.
They make a lovely Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red with a beautiful garnet-red colour, flesh and body, power and density, mellow tannins, a nose dominated by aromas of prunes and vanilla and good length in the mouth. An excellent Châteauneuf White with a bouquet dominated by white flowers and lime-tree, a long, fleshy wine with lots of charm.
