Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous 2021 offers a rich and expressive profile typical of the appellation, dominated by Grenache with supportive Syrah and Mourvèdre. Expect vibrant red fruit notes like raspberry and cherry, layered with warm baking spices, garrigue herbs, and subtle earthy undertones from the region’s distinctive galets roulés soils. The wine shows a full-bodied texture with well-integrated tannins and a balanced warmth, reminiscent of classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape but with a fresh, approachable character. It carries a long, savory finish that invites slow savoring. This vintage pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game birds, or hearty Provençal stews, enhancing its spicy and herbal complexity.

Serve slightly below room temperature to highlight its vibrant fruit and nuanced structure.
