Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous 2004, crafted in France’s Southern Rhône, is a luxurious Grenache-based blend from a classic vintage, sourced from the estate’s galet-rich terroir. The bouquet offers evolved black cherry, cassis, and plum, with notes of leather, truffle, and garrigue, accented by hints of spice and graphite. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity supporting the mature fruit profile. Its terroir-driven minerality, enhanced by French oak aging, reflects Clos Saint-Jean’s meticulous winemaking. The finish is long, refined, and complex, with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, grilled game, or aged cheeses, this cuvée is a collector’s treasure, embodying Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for Rhône enthusiasts seeking a mature wine. Its depth and elegance make it a standout from the 2004 vintage.
