About Winery
Domaine Roger Sabon has long been a reference point for classic
Chateauneuf du Pape, and they have added a slight twist to their
traditionally made cuvees with the Secret des Sabon, made from an
ancient field blend (although over 90% is clearly Grenache), and aged in
small barrels and demi-muids. A little new oak is used with the Cuvee
Prestige, but these are primarily classic, old style Chateauneuf du
Papes. There are many members of the Sabon family in this appellation
and all of them have the Midas touch when it comes to making wine.
Established in 1921, this estate has over 42 acres scattered among 15
separate parcels in Chateauneuf du Pape. As I reported last year, their
2008s are among the strongest wines of the vintage. Jean-Jacques Sabon
and his son-in-law, Didier Negron (the oenologist here since 2001), hit
pay dirt in 2009, a vintage that is not far off the pace of their
spectacular 2007s.
