In Stock Now - Le Secret de Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Now in stock and best prices in the US, the 2021 and 2022 are both great buys for Sabon and Chateauneuf fans.

Domaine Roger Sabon was established in the early 1950s and is now run by Roger's sons, Denis and Gilbert. Le Secret des Sabon comes 100+ year old vines from two vineyards near Courthezon. It's a field blend of roughly 95% Grenache with some other native varietals in the mix. Made in super limited quantities (one semi-muid of total production), what started as an experiment many years ago has turned into one of the most sought-after bottlings in the region. The heavy influence of limestone and sand in the soils produces a more delicate and ethereal style of CDP.

2022 Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret des Sabon - 97 JD, 95 WA, 95 VN, 95 WA
"From a hot, dry year, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon is another big, rich wine that stays more focused and tight compared to the broader 2023 while still bringing full-bodied richness. Ripe black cherries, roasted garrigue, cured meats, and peppery spice define the aromatics, and it's beautifully concentrated, rich, and textured on the palate with ripe tannins. It will shine for two decades." - Jeb Dunnick

"A blend of 95% Grenache Noir and 5% of several authorized varieties, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret de Sabon exhales delicate, elegant notes of dark cherries, flowers, spices, licorice and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and suave, it's layered and textured with a fleshy core of fruit, concluding with a long, spicy finish. Macerated for 35 days and partly destemmed, this is a great effort." - Johan Castaing, WA

2021 Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret des Sabon - 95 WA, 94 VN, 95 WS, 94 JD
"Virtually all Grenache, the 2021 Chateauneuf-du-Pape le Secret de Sabon offers up stunning aromas of pencil shavings and dark berries, plus hints of brighter, redder fruit as well—cherries and raspberries come to mind. Full-bodied and slightly open-knit, it's mouthwateringly juicy on the palate, with fine, silky tannins framing the lingering finish." - Joe Czerwinski, WA

"The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret de Sabon is a remarkably elegant rendition of this sought-after cuvée from Domaine Roger Sabon, almost reaching the same high altitude as the 2020. Coming it at 14.5% alcohol like all their other reds in 2021. Enticing aromas of forest strawberry, red plum, mint, licorice, dried herbs, white pepper and hints of rose petal waft from the glass. Layered and polished, there are absolutely no hard edges here. Enveloped in velvety tannins and showing great tension, it concludes with a long-lasting finish. Only 3,000 bottles produced.
