Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina 2010 is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre from very old vines. The 2010 vintage in the Southern Rhône was characterised by a long and balanced growing season that produced wines with both high ripeness and exceptional structural acidity. This large-format bottle significantly slows the rate of oxidation and keeps the dark fruit and meatier notes fresh.

Deeper and richer, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus ex Machina has been nothing short of perfection on the 3-4 times I’ve been lucky enough to try it. Muscular and powerful, with a serious, full-bodied profile, it gives up incredible aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, licorice, graphite, beef blood and loamy earth. Like most 2010s at this stage, it’s backwards and dense, and needs to be forgotten for another couple of years. This beauty will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity. - Jeb Dunnuck

Dark and brooding, the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina screams from the glass with pronounced tobacco, melted licorice, blackberry liqueur, forest floor, dried lavender and a touch of dark chocolate. Opulent and rich to an almost obscene degree, the ultra-intense 2010 isn’t aimed at those seeking elegance and restraint in a red Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Yet, putting stylistic preferences aside and solely focusing on the quality, the craftsmanship and attention to detail simply cannot be ignored. This is a singular elixir from one of the finest vintages Châteauneuf-du-Pape has ever seen.Nicolas Greinacher1st November 2024
