Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos Saint Jean Deus Ex Machina 2008 exemplifies the expressive character of the Southern Rhône. This wine features a complex aromatic profile with notes of ripe black cherry, dark plum and subtle hints of garrigue. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied structure with layers of blackcurrant, liquorice, and herbes de Provence. The tannins are firm yet balanced, providing a foundation for future ageing. Clos Saint Jean is known for its meticulous vineyard management and commitment to expressing the terroir, making it a significant producer in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.

Vinous
Vivid ruby. Seductively perfumed nose evokes raspberry preserves, potpourri and incense, with an intense spicy quality picking up power with aeration. Sappy red and dark berry flavors are silky in texture and complicated by rose pastille, clove and star anise nuances. Already very complex, highlighted by excellent finishing lift and a hint of medicinal cherry. This doesn't taste like it came from a difficult vintage.Josh Raynolds1st March 2011
