Description

2004 Clos Saint-Jean Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous

Chteauneuf-du-Pape; the southern French wine region whose renown is such that it is even known among those for whom wine is a mystery.

Chteauneuf-du-Pape is a historic wine region located between the towns of Orange and Avignon, in France’s southern Rhne Valley. It is famous for powerful, full-bodied red wine, largely made from the classic southern Rhne grape trio of Grenache-Syrah-Mourvdre.

Critical Acclaim

93 Wine Advocate

The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous, a blend of 60% Grenache (from vines planted in 1905) aged in foudre, 20% Syrah (aged in small oak), and the balance 20% Cinsault and Vaccarese aged in larger wood vessels, exhibits a dark ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of spring flowers intermixed with truffle, blueberry, blackberry, and kirsch liqueur. Medium to full-bodied, dense, chewy, and complex, this is a stunning 2004 that can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15+ years…Under the inspired winemaking talent of Rhone oenologist Philippe Cambie in addition to proprietor Vincent Maurel, 2003 marked a breakthrough vintage for Clos Saint-Jean, and that has been followed by some of the finest wines of 2004 and blockbusters again in 2005.
