從2003年開始La Combe des Fous誕生立即被 Robert Parker 每年給予超高評分，短短5年便取得RP親評2次滿分（2005和2007年），而過住兩個滿份年份Robert Parker 都要經過第二或第三次才將分數調升至滿分，而2010年Robert Parker 第一評是 98-100分，之後第二次是98分，RP退休後就再無機會再review ，但從他第二次酒評寫道: 「There have been many great vintages of this wine (2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011), but the 2010 flirts with perfection. One of the most complex aromatic expressions of Chateauneuf du Pape」，確實如果他再review，好大機會加分到滿分，而他的徒弟專評隆河酒的Jeb Dunnuck 也評此酒接近滿分的99分。
Robert Parker 曾評論如果要給一間酒莊在 Rhone 區進步最快， 一定非 Clos Saint Jean 莫屬，被形容為「Musigny of the Southern Rhone 」，在03年至10年8年間就取得Robert Parker 及Jeb Dunnuck 二人加起來超過十多次的滿分💯‼️酒莊由Edmund Tacussel建立於1900年，1910年開始才正式對外銷售，比教皇新堡成為法定AOC的時間還早了幾十年。雖然年代悠久，但一直未聞名於世，直至 Pascal Maurel 和 Vincent Maurel 兩兄弟在2002年從去世的父親接過酒莊經營，2003年酒莊還聘用Philippe Cambie作為釀酒顧問進行改革才發生巨大的蛻變，當年的引爆點就是RP對他家2003的酒打出高分，自此酒莊的名氣便扶搖直上，一口氣衝上隆河神莊級別 。
Clos Saint-Jean在La Crau 共擁有 44公頃葡萄園，另有1公頃專門種植白葡萄品種。這款La Combe des Fous名字翻譯過來是「愚人谷」，的稱號，笑稱這片葡萄園還是荒地，漫山都係搬不動的大石頭，只有傻人先會選擇在這裡種葡萄。這款酒所用的歌海娜來自於20世紀初的老藤，年產量僅500箱左右。完全除梗maceration 長達35日，Grenache 完不過桶，而 Mourvedre 和Syrah 放橡木桶陳放1-2年，葡萄比例是60% Grenache、20% Syrah、10% Cinsault and 10% Vaccarese。連Wine Cellar Insider 對此酒的酒評第一句便是：「Damn this is good juice! 」，真係好飲到講粗口

An amazing base wine, the 2007 Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape has soaring aromatics of incense, bakers spice, licorice, grilled meat and toasted bread that are mixed with perfumed red fruits. The palate is full bodied, silky smooth, balanced and long with fine grained tannins adding edge and precision.

The fact that there are nearly 6,500 cases of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape, a great sleeper of the vintage, should ensure that many consumers will have the chance to taste this extraordinary effort. It is a blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre, Cinsault, Muscardin, and Vaccarase, all from 70-year-old vines, aged in tank (the Grenache) and small barrels and demi-muids. Its dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a rich, sumptuous bouquet of crushed dried flowers, sweet black cherry and blackberry fruit, a voluptuous mouthfeel, broad, deep, concentrated flavors, and unbelievable purity, depth, richness, freshness, and vibrancy (a hallmark of this special vintage). Accessible and palate saturating, but never heavy or overbearing, this amazing wine should drink well for 15 or more years.

Superripe and friendly, but also sleek and refined, with a gorgeous mouthfeel to the black currant, crushed plum and black cherry fruit, all laid over black tea and shiso leaf notes. The finish is long and perfumy.

Dark ruby. Ripe dark berries and cherry on the nose, with complicating notes of anise and musky herbs. Fleshy, gently sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors are firmed by fine-grained tannins that fade into the fruit on the back end. Very smooth and seamless in texture, with very good closing sweetness and spicy persistence.
