Officially founded in 2015, the Domaine St. Patrice, which bears the name of the famous cru Clos Saint Patrice, was known since 1838 as one of the best vineyards of Chateauneuf Du Pape. Despite having a relatively limited extension (only 1.8 hectares) the Clos Saint Patrice produces the quintessential Chateauneuf Du Pape wines, famous for their elegance and strength. The company also owns other small plots within the appellation, and some land outside the village, from which a Cotes-du-Rhone AOC is produced.

Chateauneuf Du Pape Clos St Patrice Monopole is made from grapes sourced from the homonymous vineyard, from plants that are over sixty years old. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks with a maceration that lasts about five weeks. The wine is then aged for 14 months in cement and another 12 in the bottle.

The result is a large, full-bodied, and elegant red that shows a beautiful intense ruby color in the glass. The olfactory profile is complex and broad with notes of red and black fruits, macerated flowers, spices, and mineral hints. In the mouth, it is rich, harmonious and intensely persistent. Its important structure and solid character make it the perfect partner for grilled or roasted red meats, and game. It is also excellent with aged cheeses.
