Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Sanctus Sanctorum' MAGNUM 1500 ml

100 points - Parker

Sanctus Sanctorum is only made in the best vintages and is comprised of the oldest vines of Grenache (well over 100 years old) in Le Crau. It is aged entirely in demi-muid and bottled in magnum.

Tasting Note

Stunning in every sense of the word. This incredibly concentrated, dense, richly textured wine serves up layer after layer of sweet, ripe, peppery juicy, plush fruits. The wine coats your palate with flavor, the finish sticks with you for close to 50 seconds. Even with all this heft, and alcohol, the wine never tastes or feels hot, or over the top. Everything is in balance and harmony.

Food Pairing

The red blends of Clos Saint Jean greatly complement all kinds of classic meat dishes, Asian dishes, and fish courses.
