This wine has aromas and flavors of fruit and spices. It has a harmonious mouth with silky tannins. It is versatile wine that pairs well with red or white meat.
Each of the red Châteauneuf-du-Papes from Domaine Roger Sabon comes from a different collection of terroirs. In Les Olivets, it is primarily from sandy limestone and rocky limestone soils in the northwestern part of the appellation – the lieu dits of Pradel and Les Devès d'Estouard. Always one of the best bargains in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Les Olivets is open-knit and vibrant, being a Grenache-based blend with 10% each Cinsault & Syrah.
Wine Advocate Review:
In the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape les Olivets, one imagines the smell/taste of olive has actually entered the wine, joining herbal, garrigue and cherry notes on the nose and medium to full-bodied palate. Fine, soft and elegant, this is a wine to enjoy on the young side. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2030
