"Handpicked and de-stemmed before temperature controlled fermentation, keeping it cool so as to retain lively aromatics. This has a pretty, deep purple robe with undergrowth and toasted ripe berry flavours on the nose. The palate has a lovely harmony with liquorice and dark fruit notes. A very well made supple glass of wine to enjoy every day."
'A Châteauneuf-du-Pape property on top form, with a formidable range of impressive wines. The winemaking has been in the hands of the talented Didier Négron (whose wife is a Sabon) since 2004.' Robert Parker has been a regular visitor and customer for over 15 years.
A family-run business established in 1952 by Roger Sabon. Today the estate is composed of an 18 ha vineyard on the eastern bank of the Rhône river in the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation scattered on 14 different plots. On the western bank, the vineyard includes 12 ha in the Lirac appellation, 6 ha in Cotes du Rhone and 14 in Vin de France.
