Clos Saint Antonin - Côtes-du-Rhône Sans soufre ajouté 2019
88/100
Jeb Dunnuck
Crushed strawberries, garrigue, spices, a full-bodied and fresh palate, and a lingering finish. Here is a delightful and easy-drinking red for all your gatherings. Make no mistake, this is indeed wine—and not just any wine. The vinification and aging of this wine, made without added sulfites, results in a lively, authentic natural wine through which the full richness of the terroir and the Sabon family’s expertise is expressed.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Isabelle Sabon, the sister of Christophe Sabon (La Janasse), purchased the Saint-Antonin estate (15 hectares in Jonquière) in 2014. A combination of a land opportunity and a business strategy, Clos Saint-Antonin offers La Janasse the possibility of a “second” wine. With just under two hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, sourced from the La Janasse estate, this new label produced an excellent vintage in 2016, characterized by a rich and precise style.

Review by Mr. THIBAULT E. Published on July 7, 2021
A full-bodied wine, with an initial burst of red fruit flavors, followed by a finish of dark fruit. It’s delicious—and sulfur-free!
