2021 | Clos Saint Jean La Combe des Fous | Chateauneuf du Pape Jean Foillard dried rose petal and earthThe 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous is its usual assemblage of 60% old vine Grenache from a sandy sector of La Crau, plus 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Vaccarese. Featuring soaring aromatics this vintage, it offers up hints of orange zest and Campari like spice layered over ripe cherries and raspberries. It's full bodied but wonderfully airy and silky in feel, accented by peppery spice on the long, lingering finish. 96 Pts Wine Advocate
