Saturating rich dark to black fruit with a mild chewy feel imparted across the deep, impactful finish.

An entry level label from one of Chateauneuf Du Pape’s most acclaimed domaines, Clos Saint Jean with fruit being sourced from Vaucluse which adjoins the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Caladoc aged in concrete vats for 9 months, Caladoc is a hybrid grape – a cross between Grenache and Malbec that’s well suited to dry, warm climates.
Deep black dark red core with a dark red hue. Black raspberry and liquorice aromas show ample intensity out of the glass followed by some ripe black cherry, subtle scorched earth and peppered dried herb notes. Rich succulent dark to black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits saturate the mouth with an opulent feel. Scorched earth, infusions of herbs du Provence and blackpepper linger across the exit. Ripe sturdy tannin structure with a mild chewy feel imparted across the deep, impactful finish.=
