Since Vincent Maurel (the proprietor) engaged the hugely talented wine consultant Philippe Cambie in 2003,the critical acclaim of the Clos Saint-Jean wines has been immense and this Domaine has been propelled into world-wide stardom.The quality of their wines has been transformed and the estate is now considered to be one of the greatest Domaines in Chateauneuf du Pape:-
"Also spectacular,but more evolved,the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina reveals classic Provencal scents of roasted herbs,lavender,charcuterie,blackberries,licorice,kirsch,and bouquet garni.This super-complex,layered,multidimensional wine possesses remarkable purity and richness as well as silky tannins.One of the most open-knit Deus Ex Machinas made to date,it will be difficult to resist when young,and should age well for 20+ years".

"In contrast,the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is an extroverted,open and insanely perfumed effort that boasts killer blackberry and kirsch-styled fruit to go with layers of spring flowers,exotic spice and graphite.As are all of these efforts,it's full-bodied,deeply concentrated and textured on the palate,with masses of sweet tannin.It will be better in a couple of years and evolve gracefully for two decades,but it's hard to resist right now. Drink: 2014-2034".
