Why We're Buying
Clos Saint Jean has three wines that have earned 100-point ratings from wine critic Robert Parker. At Vinovest, we have all of them, including La Combe des Fous. Parker described it as "utterly seamless on the palate, with fine tannin, no hard edges and incredible purity of fruit. It's firing on all cylinders but certainly has another decade or more of prime drinking."
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Combe des Fous shows what this estate can do in a more difficult vintage. Full-bodied, seamless and beautifully textured, it has ample kirsch, forest floor, truffle, black pepper, and an exotic, liquid flower-like quality to go with superb concentration and silky, polished tannin. Showing the vintage's cooler nature, it nevertheless has serious richness and depth. Drink it over the coming decade.
