LES CALADES VIN DE PAYS DE VAUCLUSE 2010, CLOS SAINT-JEAN

TASTING NOTES

We sold the entire U.K. allocation of this wine within two hours. Apologies to those who missed out this year.

As well as producing some of the best Châteauneuf-du-Pape ever made, Clos Saint-Jean own a small number of vines just outside the Châteauneuf boundary. The juice from these grapes cannot legally go into the blend of the top wines, so instead they produce a small quantity of ready-to-drink Vin de Pays de Vaucluse at a truly stunning price.

Roberson have once again secured the U.K. allocation of this fantastic wine. Last year we sold out within a few hours, and with Robert Parker himself suggesting that the 2010 Châteauneufs are of the same standard as the legendary 2007’s, we expect this allocation to go even more quickly.

PRODUCER NOTES

Clos Saint-Jean are undoubtedly the hottest producer in the Rhône, if not the whole of France. Here is what Robert Parker had to say about them when reviewing their 2007's:

"The 2007 tastings prove that if you have been doing this long enough, at some point you will experience a level of profoundness that can still surpass anything done in the last 30+ years. The tasting of the five 2007 cuvees must rank among the greatest single tasting in the southern Rhone I have ever done in 30+ years of wine tasting. Last year I sensed something special was happening, and the bottled 2007s confirm that something rare had occurred in the vineyards and cellars of Clos Saint-Jean. Two separate tastings, one week apart, confirmed that Clos St.-Jean’s 2007s represent an achievement and level of experience that will forever be difficult to replicate."
