2010 Clos Saint-Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum - 100 pts

Clos Saint-Jean is a prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer based in the famous lieu-dit La Crau. The winery gained critical recognition in the early 2000s and is now in the top echelon of quality southern Rhône producers. Saint-Jean makes five red and one white Chateauneuf-designated wines from the permissible regional grapes, of which Grenache is the most important. They also make a red Vin de Pays.

The estate was founded by Edmund Tacussel in 1900 and began bottling its own wine for commercial sales in 1910, almost two decades before Châteauneuf-du-Pape became an officially designated appellation. The winery remains family owned and operated, having been inherited by Tacussel's grandsons. Saint-Jean gained real prominence after hiring influential consultant Philippe Cambie in 2002. Robert Parker's reviews of the subsequent vintages have since made the estate famous, with three of its wines earning Parker's coveted 100-point score across multiple vintages.

Rating 100 RP - 2010 Clos Saint-Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum - 100 pts The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum is the most classic in style, yet is still over-the-top and decadent in every way. Giving up heavenly aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, black raspberry, ground spice, sweet licorice and roasted herbs, it has a massive, voluptuous, layered and insanely pure feel on the palate. If you're a Grenache lover, it doesn’t get any better. RP
