Domaine Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve 2022
£42.00
Tasting Notes
Wild strawberries and ripe black fruit with liquorice, garrigue, leather and spice. Dense and concentrated, with velvety tannins and a long, savoury, saline finish.
A big, brooding style of Chateauneuf. Delightful wine.
Producer Profile
The Sabon family appears in Châteauneuf-du-Pape records from 1540. Roger Sabon founded the domaine in 1952 and his three sons took over in 1976. The family farms around 18 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape across 14 plots, and Didier Negron has made the wines since 2001.
Viticulture
From 60 to 75-year-old vines on La Crau Ouest and La Grenade, two of the domaine’s best parcels, on clay-limestone soils.
Winemaking
Hand-harvested and destemmed, then macerated for around a month in concrete and stainless steel before ageing in oak. A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre.
Goes well with
Game, slow-cooked beef or lamb, and hearty stews.
Cellaring
A powerful vintage that needs a few years in a cool cellar, then should drink well for 15 years or more.
