Clos Saint-Jean Deus Ex Machina Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2009

Clos Saint-Jean Deus Ex Machina 2009 is a powerful and expressive Châteauneuf-du-Pape that showcases the richness of old-vine Grenache at its best, lifted by Mourvèdre’s depth and structure. Sourced from the warm, stony parcels of La Crau, this is a wine of impressive concentration and finesse, combining sun-ripened generosity with remarkable balance and precision. As a top cuvée from one of the region’s respected names, it reflects both the heritage and the intensity that define classic southern Rhône winemaking.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the 2009 vintage shows a deep, intense color and immediately signals its richness. The bouquet is layered with dark berries, cherry liqueur, licorice, thyme, and a distinctly earthy, stony edge that adds complexity and definition. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, and densely textured, with a creamy mouthfeel and ripe, rounded tannins. The fruit remains vivid and generous through the long, warming finish, where spice and mineral nuances emerge. This is a wine that is drinking beautifully now, with its structure and complexity fully integrated, though it will continue to hold at a high level for those who prefer mature Rhône with depth and character.

Viininvalmistus
Deus Ex Machina is built around old Grenache vines from the hot, rocky parcels of La Crau, with Mourvèdre sourced from deeper, cooler soils to bring added structure and darker complexity. Grenache is vinified in concrete to preserve its pure, sun-warmed fruit character, while Mourvèdre typically undergoes a more extracting vinification and some ageing in oak. The final blend is matured in a combination of stainless steel and large-format barrels, allowing the wine’s powerful character to remain precise and balanced.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine is an excellent match for rich, savory dishes such as roast lamb, game, braised beef, duck confit, or herb-crusted meats. It also pairs well with mature hard cheeses and Provençal dishes featuring thyme, rosemary, and garlic. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to allow the aromas and texture to fully open, especially if the bottle has been stored for some time.
