"A Lirac with a rich, sunny profile".

"A juicy nose of black fruits and spices. The profile is rich, sunny without being cooked or stewed. Wild berries and spices are present. On the palate, this opulent wine is quite voluminous and imposes quality, bordering on imbalance. It's good, but massive". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)

About the wine:

A juicy nose of black fruits and spices. The profile is rich, sunny without being cooked or stewed. Wild berries and spices are present. On the palate, this opulent wine is quite voluminous, bordering on the unbalanced. Good, but massive.

About the domain :

Despite its name, this estate is highly fragmented, covering just about every soil type in the appellation. Traditionally made, Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are often reserved in their youth. They are built to reveal themselves 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've been following this estate's progress for many years. At ten years of age, the wines express themselves with grace. At twenty, they reach a new milestone, revealing their true potential: their aromas of truffle, undergrowth and fruit infused by time are fully appreciated. Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc is spirited and distinguished. In good vintages, the estate offers the Cuvée du Papet, dense and deep, built for ageing and often reaching exceptional levels. All our wines have great ageing potential.
