The Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina 2021 is a masterful blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, offering a rich and complex profile. It presents aromas of black cherries, black truffles, and hints of cedar and vanilla, with a full-bodied texture that is both supple and velvety. The wine’s flavors are reminiscent of a great Burgundy, with bright cherry and floral notes, yet it retains the robust character typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its beautifully integrated oak and ripe tannins make it a standout in the vintage. This wine is best paired with robust dishes like grilled lamb or game meats, where its depth and complexity can shine.
