Clos du Mont-Olivet only makes the Cuvée du Papet in years the family judges truly great, and never at the expense of their traditional Châteauneuf, so the fact that a 2019 exists tells you what they thought of the vintage. This is the estate's flagship, first made in 1989 from its oldest parcels. That includes Grenache vines planted in 1901, joined by Mourvèdre and Syrah depending on the year. Those old vines grow on the classic Châteauneuf mix of rolled galets, red clay, sand and limestone. "Papet" is Provençal for grandfather (a word that also rang out in the late '80s thanks to Yves Montand's Le Papet in Jean de Florette), and the cuvée is named for the family's own. The Sabons say they never set out to make the most powerful Châteauneuf, just the most "juste," meaning true and balanced, and they build the Papet as a vin de garde meant to age for decades while staying fresh. If you want traditional Châteauneuf at its most carefully made, this is the bottle.

More about Clos du Mont Olivet

Mont-Olivet is part of a small group of resistors who refused to add the ripeness, extraction, and new oak that got better market prices in the Parker era. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, at its heart, is really a wine of elegance that develops beautifully with age. That is exactly the kind of wine that Mont-Olivet crafts.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, Provençal beef daube, duck confit with lentils, or a wild mushroom and chestnut ragout.

Tasting Profile

Expect traditional old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Grenache-led kirsch, raspberry and plum, with the garrigue, dried herbs, leather and spice typical of the appellation. Typically full-bodied yet balanced rather than heavy, with fine, firm tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish. A wine built to age for decades.
