"All the refinement of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc in one cuvée!
A lot of elegance and finesse for this Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. A lovely springtime bouquet of white flowers entices you from the first nose, before giving way to a delicate palate with a nice fatness without heaviness.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (guide 2024) 95/100 Favorite (Vintage 2022)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wines is always a magical experience)
About the domain :
Despite its name, this estate is very fragmented, covering just about every soil type in the appellation. Traditionally made, Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are often reserved in their youth. They are built to reveal themselves over time. For several vintages now, Thierry Sabon has brought finesse and refinement to the entire range, from the simple Côtes-du-Rhône to the grand cuvée of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We've been following this estate's progress for many years. At ten years of age, the wines express themselves with grace. At twenty, they reach a new milestone, revealing their true potential: their aromas of truffle, undergrowth and fruit infused by time are fully appreciated. Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc is spirited and distinguished. In good vintages, the estate offers the Cuvée du Papet, dense and deep, built for ageing and often reaching exceptional levels. All our wines have great ageing potential.
