"A great wine crafted for aging"
This red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, already enjoyable in its youth, exudes fresh red fruit aromas along with notes of spices and garrigue. Complex and refined, the palate unfolds with finesse, elegance, and impressive freshness. A top-tier wine worth cellaring!

About the estate:
Despite its name, this estate is highly fragmented and encompasses nearly every type of soil found within the appellation. Produced using traditional methods, the red Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are often reserved in their youth. They are crafted to reveal their full potential over time. For several vintages now, Thierry Sabon has brought finesse and refinement to the entire range, from the basic Côtes-du-Rhône to the top-tier Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We have been following this estate’s progress 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: one can then fully appreciate their aromas of truffle, forest floor, and fruit that seems to have been infused by time. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is spirited and distinguished. In good vintages, the estate offers the Cuvée du Papet, a dense and deep wine built for aging that often reaches exceptional heights. All the wines show great aging potential.
