Description

As with the other cuvees from Roger Sabon, the philosophy behind the Cuvee Prestige is to harvest the Grenache and Syrah early to preserve their natural acidity since the age of these vines – the oldest topping a century in age – will provide plenty of richness and concentration. As a result this wine walks the line between fresh red fruit, and dense black fruit flavors with additional complexity coming from a blend that also includes Mourvedre, Cinsault, Counoise, Vaccarese, Muscardin and Terret Noir.

Roger Sabon

Founded in 1952 by Roger Sabon, several generations later, the estate has reached a total surface of 50 hectares split over both sides of the Rhône. 18 hectares belong to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, on the left bank, the rest of the hectares fall into Lirac, Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de France on the right bank. The diversity of the plots allows them to produce a wide choice of wines with varied profiles.

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
