Order wine : Clos du Mont-Olivet 2023 - Cuvée du Papet
Chateauneuf du Pape - Joseph Sabon
96/100 James Suckling
A breathtaking Cornas! On opening, it reveals powerful aromas of black pepper, gunflint and graphite, before gradually opening up to a magnificent intensity of elderberry fruit. Its stony minerality, raw and precise, combines with energetic tannins and remarkable fruit richness, offering exceptional tension and vivacity. The impressively dense finish lingers with brightness and freshness. From the highest vines in the appellation, at over 400 meters altitude - the last to be harvested by the estate. Organically grown grapes. Enjoy now or cellar.
- Ageing potential : To be drunk from 2027 to 2040+.
- Tasting notes: An elegant suppleness that makes them particularly suitable to be enjoyed in their youth, without altering their ageing potential. 2020 is certainly a vintage full of balance, combining freshness and greed.
- 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
