Clos Saint Jean
About Clos Saint Jean
Founded at the turn of the 20th century, Clos Saint-Jean shot to fame with its 2003 vintage after attracting the attention of Robert Parker, who commanded the 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus-Ex Machina for being a candidate for the appellation’s “wine of the vintage”.
Founded by Edmund Tacussel in 1900, Clos Saint-Jean is today managed by his great-great-grandchildren, Pascal and Vincent Maurel, who took the estate to a new level after bringing on board the late Rhône consulting oenologist Philippe Cambie in 2002. Not only are most of their vines located within the famed Le Crau plot, Clos Saint-Jean also owns a small parcel of Mourvèdre in the lieu-dit of BoisDauphin near Château Rayas.

Wine Advocate (100)More flamboyant, open and exotic, with notes of kirsch liqueur, cassis, toasted almonds, sandalwood, lavender, and crushed flowers that you can smell from across the room, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum expands on the palate, with incredible concentration, building, sweet tannin and a finish that just won’t quit. Where the 2010 cuts a more focused path, this puppy is overflowing with fruit and texture. It too is a perfect wine that will evolve for another couple decades, yet given this showing, don’t hesitate to crack bottles over the coming couple of years. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)One of the greatest young wines I’ve ever tasted is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Sanctus Sanctorum which is 100% old vine Grenache sourced from a single parcel in the La Crau lieu-dit. Lighter in color than both the Combes des Fous and Ex Machina, it offers a heavenly perfume of kirsch liqueur, crushed rocks, exotic spices, and graphite. This beauty hits the palate with an incredible display of opulent, decent fruit paired with an elegance and seamlessness that needs to be tasted to be believed. With building richness, no weight, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that won’t quit, it’s released only in magnum, so it will take upward of a decade to hit maturity and will keep for 20+ years. Hats off to the Maurel family and their consultant Philippe Cambie! |
