Clos St Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Deus Ex Machina' '20

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape glows with a deep garnet hue and a nose of blackberry, garrigue, and smoked meat. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with supple tannins and flavors of fig, dark chocolate, and a touch of peppery spice. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the wine is aged in large oak foudres, earning 95 points for its harmony and depth. Decant for braised beef or duck confit to enhance its savory notes. The sandy-clay soils of the region contribute to the wine’s opulent yet balanced profile.
