Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina 2021 Clos Saint Jean

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (98)

The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is a strong candidate to be wine of the vintage. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, it combines scents of black truffles and black cherries with hints of cedar and vanilla (the Mourvèdre is aged in new oak, the Grenache in concrete). It's full-bodied and concentrated, supple and almost creamy in feel, then long and velvety on the finish. Bravo.

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Deux Ex-Machina is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre, with the Grenache brought up in concrete tanks and the Mourvèdre in new barrels. It's another dead ringer for a great Burgundy with its bright cherry, framboise, new leather, and floral aromas and flavors. It has beautifully integrated oak, full body, terrific ripeness, and a great finish. It's most likely the wine of the vintage and has the fresher, elegant style of the vintage while still being powerful and layered.
