Clos Saint-Jean Deus-Ex Machina Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016

Clos Saint-Jean Deus-Ex Machina 2016 is a powerful and finely tuned Châteauneuf-du-Pape, built from old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre grown on some of the appellation’s most expressive terroirs. It combines the warmth and richness of La Crau with the structure and depth of cooler, deeper soils in Cabrières, creating a wine that is both generous and beautifully composed. Rooted in one of the Rhône Valley’s most prestigious appellations, it reflects the classic character and pedigree of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with impressive precision.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the 2016 vintage shows remarkable intensity and balance, with a dark, concentrated core and a polished, radiant appearance. The nose opens with black fruit, cherry compote, liquorice, and garrigue-like Provençal herbs, alongside a distinct mineral edge that speaks to the old vines and stony soils. The palate is rich and layered, with ripe fruit carried by a fresh vintage energy that keeps the wine lively and focused. Mourvèdre adds depth, grip, and a firm tannic spine, while the overall texture remains smooth and long. This is already in a harmonious drinking window, but it has the structure to age gracefully for another 10 to 15 years, developing even greater complexity over time.

Viininvalmistus
Deus-Ex Machina 2016 comes from old Grenache vines on the hot, pebble-strewn parcels of La Crau, complemented by Mourvèdre from the deeper, cooler soils of Cabrières. Grenache is vinified traditionally in concrete to preserve its pure, juicy fruit character, while Mourvèdre is handled in a more structured way with oak influence to build complexity and tannin. The wine is then matured in a combination of stainless steel tanks and large oak casks, allowing its power to be refined without being overshadowed by wood.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game, slow-cooked beef, herb-crusted dishes, and rich Mediterranean cuisine featuring olives, rosemary, or thyme. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up and show its full aromatic range.
