The Clos Saint Jean Deus ex machina 2022 is an iconic wine from the renowned Clos Saint Jean winery in the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The term "Deus ex machina", which means "God from the machine", symbolizes a turn for the better, the solution to a problem or simply the change in a situation due to something unforeseen. In this case, it was the arrival of oenologist Phillipe Cambie in 2003, who radically transformed the style of Clos Saint Jean into an even higher quality, more individual character and knew how to get the best out of the already brilliant terroir.

The Deus ex machina comes from the La Crau vineyard in the north of the château, which is planted with Grenache vines over 100 years old. Accordingly, the cuvée consists of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre. The wine is matured in stainless steel barrels and then aged in new oak.

The Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus ex machina 2022 pleases the eye with a dark violet color. The nose smells of black cherries, truffles, new leather, violets and lots of herbs, smoke, with traces of cedar and some vanilla due to the use of new wood during the post-maturing process. The palate is highly intense, concentrated, yet very creamy and velvety, in an overall very opulent, yet fresh style. This is mirrored by the extremely long finish.

A racy Châteauneuf-du-Pape with high expectations, which it more than fulfills. It will be ready to drink from around 2024-2028, with a very long life perspective.

Robert Parker 98/100 ("strong candidate for best wine of the vintage"); Jeb Dunnuck 96/100.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2021
Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2021
The Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous 2021, made from grapes from the "La Crau" hillside vineyard of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Clos Saint Jean, is one of the outstanding Châteauneuf du Pape wines of recent years. Vincent and Pascal Maurel, now the fifth generation of the Maurel family, are unwaveringly continuing the tradition of the renowned château. Their ancestor, Edmont Tacussel, planted this site between 1905 and 1910, and the vines are still there today. As the vineyard was so riddled with huge pebbles and it was actually hopeless to work the vines here on horseback, the site was named "La Combe des Fous", the hill of the madmen. In the end, this vineyard turned out to be one of, if not the best vineyard in the entire region, and the wines that come from here are top-class Châteauneuf-du-Pape.Very low yields, hand-picking and vines over 100 years old are the stuff dreams are made of. The blend consists of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and a further 10% Vaccarese. The Grenache is aged for 9 months in concrete tanks, while the other grape varieties are matured for 9 months in exclusively new oak barrels.Lots of fruit on the nose; very black berry, spicy, cassis, lots of black cherry, herbs, some forest floor, tea, tobacco and mocha. The palate is fresh, harmonious and well-balanced. Tannins and acidity are elegantly and delicately balanced with the impressive fruit aromas. The finish is wonderfully long and makes the 2021 La Combe des Fous a lasting experience.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge AOC
Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge AOC
Der Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape stammt aus der renommierten Weinregion im südlichen Rhônetal in Frankreich. Die Weine dieser Region sind geprägt durch ihre Komplexität, Tiefe und Finesse. Clos Saint Jean macht hier keine Ausnahme; das Weingut ist bekannt für seine durchgehend hohe Exzellenz der Weine, bei immer noch sehr moderaten Preisen.Clos Saint Jean verfügt über zum Teil uralte Rebbestände, wobei die Familie Maurel, seit Generationen Besitzer von Clos Saint Jean, mit viel Liebe zum Detail arbeitet. So wird beispielsweise heute, nach der Fermentation im Betontank, der Grenache im Edelstahltank ausgebaut, während die 15% Syrah, 4% Mourvedre,  3% Cinsault, 2% Vaccarese  und 1% Muscardin in Barriques reifen dürfen. In Flaschen abgefüllt wird tatsächlich nach dem Mondkalender!Dieser Châteauneuf-du-Pape bietet eine beeindruckende Aromenvielfalt, darunter dunkle Früchte wie schwarze Kirschen, Erdbeer- und Himbeer-Touch, Gewürze wie schwarzer Pfeffer, etwas Salz, Kräuter und Schokolade. Der Gaumen offenbar viel Charme, Seidigkeit und Harmonie, mit einem außerordentlich langen Nachhall. Ein insgesamt sehr feinsinniger Wein, mit einem faszinierenden Spiel der Aromen, der immer wieder neue Nuancen entdecken lässt."Smooth on the outside and dense on the inside, like a billiard ball" schreiben die Maurels auf der Homepage über ihre Weine. Wir haben zwar noch keine Billiard-Bälle degustiert, sind aber von der Qualität dieses Weines mehr als überzeugt.

The "Cuvée des Cadettes" from Château La Nerthe is also a world-class French red wine in the 2016 vintage. 93+ points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and even 97+ points from US wine critic Jeb Dunnuck speak for themselves. The blend of 52% Grenache Noir, 38% Syrah and 10% Mourve`dre offers wine enjoyment that easily satisfies the highest demands.The bouquet of the Cuvée des Cadettes 2016 has a captivating aroma of black cherry, blackcurrant and sweet spices. Ripe blackberries and pepper also enrich the bouquet. Joe Czerwinski judges in the Wine Advocate that the blend has notes of cedar and roasted aromas, as well as vanilla and baking spices. With more air, "some cola and dark berry notes emerge".On the palate, the red wine from the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape region is dry, fresh and balanced, with a great depth of aroma (blackberries and graphite). The tannins are perfectly ripe and masterfully integrated. The deep ruby red wine has exceptional length. "It seems that the wine has the necessary weight and richness to carry the 28% new barriques used for its ageing," says Czerwinski.He also recommends: "Give it a few more years and drink it over the next two decades." The "Cuvée des Cadettes" from Château La Nerthe is guaranteed to be a delight until 2040. The red wine matured for 12 months in oak. Wine lovers can only purchase this top cuvée a few years after it has been bottled.Enjoy this fine wine from France with a duck fillet in pepper sauce, wild boar or roast wild rabbit with herbs, for example.

Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red AOP
This classic Côtes du Rhône comes from one of the oldest wineries in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation (AOC), which was founded in 1936. Château La Nerthe traces its origins back to the 14th century and, with over 90 hectares, boasts one of the largest vineyards in the region.Tradition and a keen attention to detail are of the utmost importance here. The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted on a table. Fermentation takes place in vats for 18 to 21 days, with regular pumping over and submergence of the cap, accompanied by daily tastings of the must to ensure that the exact right degree of extraction is achieved. After malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, the Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 is aged in barrels for 12 months.The wine rewards this with a deep red color. On the nose, it offers aromas of black currants, black tea, and dried flowers. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fruity, rich, and robust. Overall, this dry red wine displays a very pure and intense character.We recommend pairing this wonderful French red wine with lamb, beef, or duck.
