Why choose this wine:

From the prestigious Clos Saint Jean, La Combe des Fous 2017 is an iconic cuvée, blending predominantly Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Vaccarèse. This wine offers an exceptional aromatic palette, blending ripe black fruits, licorice, spices and floral notes. On the palate, power and depth are balanced by freshness and silky tannins. Meticulous ageing gives it great complexity and remarkable ageing potential. Ideal with grilled meat, game or a dish in sauce, this is a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape to enjoy now or treasure for years to come.

The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous features its usual blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, complemented by Vaccarèse and Cinsault, aged in vats and demi-muids. It reveals aromas of kirsch liqueur, white flowers, graphite and ground pepper, with a marked minerality. This 2017 vintage, both ethereal and powerful, is concentrated yet retains an elegant Provençal style characteristic of the vintage. It perfectly reflects the purity, intensity and signature of Clos Saint Jean. A splendid wine of great finesse and remarkable depth. Jeb Dunnuck
