Clos Saint Jean is run by brothers Vincent and Pascal Maurel and is considered amongst the very finest estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with the majority of their vineyards located in the iconic sub-zone of Le Crau. As is typical, the 2016 release is predominantly Grenache with a small amount of Syrah and several other varieties. It is lush and full-bodied, with silken texture and cascades of rich black cherry fruit and spicy savoury depth.

Vinous
Vivid bright-rimmed ruby. Exotic, highly perfumed aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, candied flowers, incense and Indian spices show outstanding definition and mineral lift. Fleshy, alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated raspberry, cherry cola, lavender pastille and fruitcake flavors that show uncanny delicacy for their power. Smooth, spicy and penetrating on the impressively persistent finish, which is given shape by suave, slow-building, deftly interwoven tannins.Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
