From the beginning, he focused entirely on producing robust red wines. However, this changed in 2011 when his two sons, Pascal and Vincent, took over the reins. They decided to deviate from their father's long-standing methods. Guy Maurel had always employed a very traditional approach, and while this had always been successful, the brothers believed there was much more potential in their vineyards and the grapes they had planted. They enlisted the help of winemaker Philippe Cambie and produced arguably the best wine of that vintage in 2003. Today, the three still work the 43 hectares of vineyards and produce many successful wines that have received international acclaim.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are individually harvested by hand at peak ripeness. The grapes are also vinified separately. After fermentation, the Grenache grape is aged for approximately 16 months in concrete vats. The other grapes are aged for 12 months in new oak barrels. The best of each grape is nurtured and ultimately brought together in this Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The surprising aromas of Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n A beautiful, deep red wine appears in the glass.
