Clos St. Jean Combe Des Fous Chateauneuf Du Pape 2015

Combe des Fous literally means, the hill of the fool. The hill, in this case, is located in the far southern reach of Le Crau which was left barren for many centuries because the layer of galets was so exceedingly deep that everyone assumed vines could never survive there. The fool in this situation is Edmund Tacussel, the great-great-grandfather of Vincent and Pascal Maruel who planted a Grenache vineyard on this site in 1905. That old-vine Grenache form the heart of this cuvee with a small amount of Syrah, Cinsault and Vaccarese. – Importer

Small hill in La Crau district where Grenache was planted in 1905. From 50-100+ year old vines. Farming: Sustainable. Aging: Grenache aged in concrete tank, other varieties in French oak for 12 months. This parcel on La Crau called Combe Des Fous was historically considered too difficult to work, yet the Maurels’ great grand-father, Edmond, was fool enough to persevere. From the Hill of Fools comes this extraordinary blend. -Importer
