Clos St Jean La Combe des Fous 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape
96/100 Wine Spectator
From the prestigious Clos Saint Jean estate, La Combe des Fous is an emblematic Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée, expressing all the richness and depth of Rhone terroirs. This great wine is made primarily from Grenache, accompanied by Syrah, Cinsault and a touch of Vaccarèse, offering an aromatic palette of rare intensity. On the palate, the experience is sumptuous: a silky texture carried by notes of jammy black fruits, sweet spices and cocoa. Its controlled power is perfectly balanced with persistent freshness and refined tannins, promising remarkable evolution in the cellar.
How to serve La Combe des Fous
To fully appreciate its complexity, open the bottle 2 hours before serving and serve at 16-18°C in large wine glasses. Its ageing potential is impressive: 15 to 20 years, even more in great vintages. When young, it reveals a dazzling intensity of fruit and spice; with age, it gains depth and develops truffle and game notes. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the ideal accompaniment to a fine piece of mature beef, a leg of lamb with herbs or roast pigeon with porcini mushrooms. A wine for lovers of great gustatory emotions.
