Roger Sabon Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reserve 2022

15.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Virile with a strong and charismatic character! On the palate it is fleshy, warm and fresh, with cherry brandy hints and fresh and silky tannins. The depth mid-palate is impressive and gives way to a finish that is as powerful as it is silky!

“The Sabon’s 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve, a blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre sourced from vines planted on La Crau Ouest and La Grenade, evokes a dense, deep bouquet of lead pencil, licorice, spices, dark wild berries and fresh thyme. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s perfectly balanced with a layered mid-palate framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. It will take some time for this powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape to hit its strike.” 2025 – 2044
93+ Points, Yohan Castaing, The Wine Advocate, Sep 2024

“The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve sings at this showing. Forest strawberry, licorice, black cherry, cured meat and violet nuances are front and center. Closing with a long and expansive finale, the full-bodied and markedly tannic 2022 demands at least five more years to settle down.” 2029 -2042
(92-94) Points, Nicholas Greinacher, Vinous, June 2024
