Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe Des Fous 2006

The Winery

Clos Saint-Jean

As one of the most highly acclaimed producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos Saint-Jean is recognized to produce upper echelon wines with critical recognition. In 1900 the estate was founded by Edmund Tacussel in the famous lieu-dit La Crau, and they were bottling commercial wines by 1910 before Châteauneuf-du-Pape was an official appellation. To this day the winery is family owned and operated, as well as assisted by influential consultant, Philippe Cambie. The estate practices sustainable farming and is known to macerate for extensive time which have helped three of their wines in earning 100 point scores from the coveted Robert Parker. Clos Saint-Jean is as devoted to the terroir as it is to the rich history that has given them their well-earned reputation known throughout France.

Summary

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous 2006 is a remarkable red blend from the historic La Crau estate, rejuvenated under the guidance of Philippe Cambie. This wine predominantly features very old-vine Grenache complemented by Syrah, Cinsault, and Vaccarèse. The vintage is characterized by a full-bodied profile, showcasing ripe berry liqueur flavors alongside herbal and spicy notes, all supported by velvety tannins. The combination of low yields and limited production contributes to its depth and richness. The blend consists of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 20% Vaccarèse.
