La Combe des Fous Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos Saint Jean 2007 is a full-bodied Grenache-based red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Clos Saint Jean is run by brothers Vincent and Pascal Maurel and is considered among the very finest estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. La Combe de Fous translates as ‘the hill of the fool’ and is a reference to their great-great-grandfather, Edmund Tacussel, who in 1905 planted Grenache vines in one of the hilliest and most inhospitably stoney sections of the iconic Le Crau sub-region. It is this ancient-vine fruit that forms the backbone to this cuvée, a remarkably rich yet velvety wine that rides the perfect line between immense power and beguiling elegance. The 2007 is available here in magnum format.
95 Vinous
Inky ruby. Pungent, strongly perfumed bouquet of ripe dark berries, cherry compote, olive and floral oils. Smooth, palate-coating mulberry and kirsch flavors are complicated by candied lavender and rose qualities that gain power with aeration. The floral element dominates the very long, spicy, strikingly pure finish. This is extremely sexy now but clearly destined for a long life.Josh Raynolds1st January 2010
