Order wine : Clos du Mont-Olivet 2018 - Cuvée du Papet
Chateauneuf du Pape - Joseph Sabon
97 James Suckling & 95/100 Wine Spectator
When to drink this wine : 2025 to 2040.
- 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
