This lovely Châteauneuf-du-Pape presents a bouquet of black fruit with hints of green olive and hummus and possesses a generous, silky palate. More info
This domain cultivates around 18 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape divided among 14 plots, each with a distinct type of soil producing wines with intricate flavour profiles. The Réserve cuvée is a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, grown on limestone-clay soil. The hand-harvested grapes are destemmed before being macerating for around a month in concrete and stainless-steel vats. During this period the fermenting juice is removed from the vat, leaving the caps, and then gradually returned to the vat to rehydrate the caps and promote a gentler extraction of the flavours and tannins. After the grapes have been pressed, the wine spends the first six months in concrete or stainless-steel tanks to eliminate the largest lees. The wine then continues to mature in vats, truncated tanks and demi-muids (600 L barrels) for 12 months. The different batches undergo a final blend before bottling.
The Réserve cuvée flaunts a ruby colour with notes of black fruit and hints of green olive and hummus. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and robust, balanced with notes of silky tannins. This wine should be enjoyed within 10 years.

Created in 1952 by Roger Sabon, the eponymous domaine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape has several parcels on a range of terroirs and therefore has a large range of cuvées. The terroirs have the famous “galets roulés” and sandy limestone soils. All the wines have their own unique personality. They offer wonderful balance between tannic structure, acidity and natural freshness. They stand out for their expressive character. Today the domaine is managed by Denis and his son Julien who practice sustainable agriculture.
