The Sanctus Sanctorum 2019 is the rarest and most iconic bottling of Clos Saint Jean, made exclusively from century-old Grenache vines in La Crau. Produced in minuscule quantities, it embodies the intensity and grandeur of the vintage. The nose bursts with kirsch, raspberry liqueur, violet, licorice, and exotic spices, while the palate is opulent and commanding, with velvety tannins supporting layers of ripe fruit, garrigue, and mineral lift. Despite its power, the wine retains remarkable elegance and balance, its finish lingering endlessly with finesse. A collector’s treasure and a benchmark Grenache, the 2019 Sanctus Sanctorum is destined to evolve for decades, though its sheer concentration makes it an unforgettable experience even in its youth.

Clos Saint Jean is one of the most renowned estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, particularly celebrated for its old-vine Grenache planted in the prestigious La Crau vineyard. Managed by the Maurel family and guided by the winemaking expertise of Philippe Cambie, the domaine has become synonymous with power, purity, and expressive terroir. Their work emphasizes minimal intervention in the cellar and careful selection of fruit from some of the appellation’s finest parcels, resulting in wines that are at once generous, layered, and deeply reflective of Châteauneuf’s unique soils and climate. Clos Saint Jean has long stood at the pinnacle of the region, with its flagship cuvées commanding worldwide attention.
