Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2021 is a deeply concentrated and elegant Rhone red blend, composed primarily of about 85% Grenache with Mourvèdre and Syrah making up the remainder. It shows a dense core of dark fruit flavors such as black cherries and plum, complemented by notes of bitter cherry and a subtle tannic structure that adds both power and finesse. The wine features a velvety texture with good energy and poise despite its ripeness, reflecting the warm, iron-rich terroir of the Le Crau plateau where much of the fruit is sourced. The style is robust and full-bodied with restrained oak influence on Mourvèdre and Syrah, while Grenache remains unoaked. Overall, it is a classic and refined Châteauneuf-du-Pape with dark fruit, spice, and mineral-driven complexity, indicating excellent aging potential
