Clos St Patrice Monopole 2019 Domaine Saint Patrice

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The full-bodied 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Clos St Patrice is loaded with brooding dark-skinned fruit and dark chocolate flavors. Full-bodied, soft and velvety, it's surprisingly approachable, even if it's not that expressive on the nose. It's a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre from this monopole, limestone-based vineyard in the heart of the village of Chateauneuf du Pape.

James Suckling (93)

Flavorful and driven, this muscular red shows sweet cherries, ripe berries and dried leaves. Full-bodied with plush tannins. A solid frame of generous fruit meets a dense core of warm spices on the palate. Expansive yet focused, with a long finish.

Jancis Robinson (17)

75% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre. Aged for 14 months in concrete (100%). Tank sample.
Tasted blind. Creamy and soft nose – slight jamminess and note of black pepper. Rich and pepper-laden palate with fine tannins and rich dark-chocolate finish, finishes a little heavy.
