Order wine : Clos du Mont-Olivet 2016 - Cuvée du Papet
Chateauneuf du Pape - Joseph Sabon
94/100 Parker
La Cuvée du Papet 2016 – Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, much of the Grenache coming from century-old vines. The wine has a deep color and aromas of ripe plum, enhanced by seductive floral notes. Full and smooth on the palate, it offers a creamy and generous texture, with lovely richness and a remarkable length on the finish. Despite its high alcohol content (15.8%), it remains perfectly balanced, without any sensation of heat on the palate.

Aging potential: 2018 – 2035
- Blend : 90% Grenache - 5% Mourvèdre - 5% Syrah
- Terroir : The flagship of the Domaine, this wine is made from a selection of the best plots of land located on the Montalivet, La Crau and Bois Dauphin sites. Dominated by very old Grenache vines. The soils are mostly sandy, with some pebbles.
- Vinification : The vats are filled by gravity with a destemming of about 60%. The three grape varieties are fermented together in order to create a harmony from the moment of vatting. The work of the wines is done without seeking a maximum extraction but by privileging more the elegance and the freshness. If during the maturing process, which starts in concrete tanks, other tanks prove interesting, the initial blend can be modified. For this vintage, the maturation continued in tuns, half-muids and barrels of several wines. Partial de-stemming of the harvest
