"A great wine crafted for aging"
This red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, already enjoyable in its youth, exudes fresh red fruit and notes of spice and garrigue. Complex and racy, the palate reveals itself with finesse, elegance, and impressive freshness. A high-quality cuvée to cellar!

About the estate:
Despite its name, this estate is very fragmented and encompasses almost every type of soil found in the appellation. Produced using traditional methods, Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wines are often reserved in their youth. They are designed to reveal their full potential over time. For several vintages now, Thierry Sabon has brought finesse and refinement to the entire range, from the simple Côtes-du-Rhône to the grand cuvée of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We have been following the progress of this estate for many years. At ten years old, the wines express themselves with grace. At twenty years old, they reach a new milestone and reveal their true potential: we can then fully appreciate their aromas of truffle and undergrowth, as well as fruit that seems to have been infused by time. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is lively and distinguished. In good vintages, the estate offers the Cuvée du Papet, a dense and deep wine, made for aging and often reaching exceptional levels. All the wines show great aging potential.
