    The wine

    Le Clos Saint Jean, domaine réparti sur une quarantaine d'hectares sur un sol de plateau argilo-calcaire recouvert de diluvium alpin, c'est-à-dire de galets roulés, fut créé en 1900par Edmond Tacussel. Mais ce n'est qu'en 1957 que Guy Maurel reprit le domaine, à qui les deux fils, Pascal et Vincent, vinrent prêter main forte dans les années 1980. Depuis, le domaine a changé ses pratiques, principalement en 2003, ce qui donna naissance à la cuvée Deus-Ex-Machina, qui reflète ainsi les changements d'orientation au domaine, travaillant au plus près du fruit et de la terre. Ce châteauneuf-du-pape blanc constitue leur seul hectare sur planté en blanc sur cette appellation et constitue ainsi l'un des joyaux du domaine.

    Information about domain Clos Saint-Jean

    Clos Saint Jean was established at the start of the 20th century by Edmond Tacussel and took on its current name in 1910. It has stayed in the same family over the generations, has expanded, and is currently run by Pascal and Vincent Maurel. Forty of its hectares are planted for Châteauneuf-du-Pape red and just one is planted for white. Yields are carefully controlled through pruning and green harvesting. The use of insecticides and chemical fertilisers is also kept to an absolute minimum. The quality of the grapes and the wine is evident. Length, texture and tension are key characteristics of wines from this highly-regarded domain.
