Vin beskrivelse

Cuvée La Combe des Fous ("Tåbernes kløft") er produceret på basis af primært Grenache fra en parcel i "La Crau", der i fordoms tid blev betragtet som værende for svær at dyrke. Maurel'ernes oldefar var "tåbelig" nok til at plante bl.a. Grenache her og som man kan smage er resultatet fremragende. Vinen er fremstillet af 60 % Grenache tilsat barrique lageret Syrah og en smule Cinsault m.m.

Jeb Dunnuck (97 points):
"The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Combe Des Fous checks in as a normal blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Vaccarèse and Cinsault, raised in tank and demi-muids. Kirsch liqueur, white flowers, graphite, ground pepper, and obvious minerality all emerge from this ethereal yet powerful, concentrated 2017. It's very much in the more Provençal, elegant style of this vintage, yet has classic Clos Saint Jean purity, style, and power. It's a gorgeous wine."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (97 points):
The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous is full-bodied, rich and velvety, yet it also possesses more freshness and concentrated berry fruit than the Vieilles Vignes bottling. An absolute beauty of a beast, it delivers ripe raspberries and cherries, a gentle dusting of Asian spice and a long, long finish.
