A long-running family domaine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos Saint Jean is closely associated with old-vine Grenache and holdings on the stony La Crau plateau. The estate’s traditional red bottling is Grenache-led, with the southern Rhône blend completed by varieties such as Syrah and Mourvèdre depending on the vintage.

Jeb Dunnuck
“The base cuvée here always delivers, and the 2012 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a classic southern Rhône that’s loaded with notions of garrigue, saddle leather, spice-box, and black licorice, with tons of sweet Grenache fruit. It’s medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and will drink nicely for another decade.” (02/2018)

“Deep ruby. Dark berries and cherry compote on the nose, with a touch of smoky herbs in the background. Round and velvety in texture, offering pliant bitter cherry and blackberry flavors and a hint of dark chocolate. Plush, broad and very fruity, finishing with lingering sweetness and supple tannins. (JR)” (01/2014)
