The Wine

A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, Vaccarèse, and Muscardin, is crafted from old vines situated in and around Le Crau. The Grenache matures in concrete for 12 months, while the rest ages in demi-muids.

In short, 2021 (Vintage in CDP) exudes grace and freshness, complemented by widespread tannin quality, good structure and sufficient but not excessive concentration. When talking to winemakers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, I often sense that some hold a more reserved opinion of wines produced from less opulent years compared to more powerful and flamboyant vintages such as 2019. But au contraire: the 2021 reds have broad appeal. The distinctive feature of 2021 is the abundance of bright acidity, neatly complementing flavor concentration, which gives the wines a delightful sense of elegance and freshness. The generally lower alcohol levels further contribute to their refined character. Vinous Media, June 2023

92 Points, Jeb Dunnuck "Leading off the reds, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape reveals a vivid ruby hue as well as terrific black cherry and black raspberries, gorgeous Provençal herbs, pepper, and floral nuances. It's ripe, medium-bodied, has a beautiful sense of elegance, and fine tannins." 

92 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate "...actually impressed me more than the 2020. Marked by fruits that range from strawberry and cherry to stone fruit, this is full-bodied and supple, silky and pure, exhibiting impressive concentration and elegance."

About the Wine Maker

Clos St Jean is run by brothers Vincent and Pascal Maurel. Considered by many critics as the pre-eminent estate espousing the modern style of winemaking in Châteauneuf, the estate is one of the oldest in the region, having been founded in 1900 by the great-great-grandfather of Vincent and Pascal. The vineyards of Clos Saint Jean are primarily located in the region of Châteauneuf known as Le Crau. This plateau is the most iconic of the many terroirs of Châteauneuf-du-Pape – iron-rich red clays topped with galets. In the cellar, the reds are 90% destemmed and fermented in concrete with delestage for the Grenache and pigeage for the Syrah & Mourvedre. Ageing varies from tank and concrete to barriques and demi-muids.
