92pts Wine Spectator

Shows steeped raspberry and cherry notes wrapped around a graphite spine. An attractive, perfumy wine, with floral high tones. Grounded on the palate, with fine tannins and earthy spices. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault. Best from 2025 through 2035.

91pts Vinous

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Olivets is made from fully de-stemmed fruit. Akin to the Réserve from the same vintage, it has a slightly reductive character requiring some aeration before opening up. Showcasing glossy red fruit aromas and a pinch of menthol, it is remarkably elegant, medium to full-bodied and polished.

Winemaker Notes

Each of the red Châteauneuf-du-Papes from Domaine Roger Sabon comes from a different collection of terroirs. In Les Olivets, it is primarily from sandy limestone and rocky limestone soils in the northwestern part of the appellation – the lieux dits of Pradel and Les Devès d’Estouard. Always one of the best bargains in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Les Olivets is open-knit and vibrant, being a Grenache-based blend with 10% each Cinsault & Syrah.

Winery Notes

"The Sabon family is an ancient and well-regarded name in Chateauneuf-du-Pape first mentioned in documents dating back to 1540. Perhaps not as venerable as the Ameniers of Domaine de Marcoux and Domaine Giraud, but still eminently respectable. A more recent patriarch of the family, Seraphin Sabon first bottled wine in the appellation under the family’s name in 1921. He also fathered three very enterprising sons, all of whom established their own domaines: Joseph Sabon at Clos du Mont Olivet, Noel Sabon at Chante Cigale and Roger Sabon. The Sabons are like the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young of the village.
