Layers of licorice, leather, and herbs add depth, while the finish is long and refined. Clos Saint Jean’s traditional winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of intensity and elegance. Perfect for grand occasions and pairing with roasted game or hearty stews, this magnum is a collector’s gem, reflecting Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience.
