This is Clos du Mont-Olivet's flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape, made from the estate's oldest parcels, including Grenache vines planted in 1901. The Sabons make it only in years they consider truly great, and never at the expense of their traditional Châteauneuf. In other years they simply skip it. Pierre Sabon, who took over winemaking and blending from Joseph Sabon in 1978, came up with the idea of setting aside the best of the harvest from those century-old vines, and the first Papet followed in 1989. "Papet" is Provençal for grandfather (a word all of France was hearing in the late '80s, thanks to Yves Montand's Papet in Jean de Florette), and the cuvée honours the family's own grandfather, Séraphin Sabon. The old vines grow on the classic Châteauneuf mix of rolled galets, red clay, sand and limestone. The family says they never set out to make the most powerful Châteauneuf. Instead they build the Papet as a vin de garde, meant to age for decades and keep its freshness. If you want traditional Châteauneuf at its most carefully made, this is the bottle.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

The family's own match is lièvre à la royale (braised hare) with sauce grand veneur and a truffled celery root purée. Venison loin with a red wine and juniper sauce, roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, or a Provençal beef daube would also work. Serve it slightly cool, at 14–15°C, as the family suggests.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape profile: ripe red cherry, raspberry and kirsch from the Grenache, with darker plum, garrigue herbs, black pepper and leather from the Syrah and other regional varieties. Typically full-bodied but not heavy, with firm, fine-grained tannins and real freshness for the style, finishing long and savoury. This is a wine built for long ageing.
