The estate and the wine |
|
|
Clos du Mont-Olivet is one of the most coveted estates in the southern Rhône Valley. Firmly established in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and deeply tied to the Sabon family, its fifty hectares of vines are highly fragmented and rest on a unique patchwork of clay, quartz, and pebbles. This mosaic of soils produces wines built to age, marked by remarkable finesse and softness, designed to reveal their full depth over time. |

The 2024 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape immediately captivates with its bright pale-yellow color. The nose is floral and refined, recalling delicate herbal infusions, with a subtle sun-kissed touch and hints of schist that bring an elegant mineral edge. On the palate, the expression is strikingly pure: fresh, silky, and ripe, it delivers the classic profile of great White Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The balance and finesse are irresistible, offering instant pleasure while promising fine aging potential. An elegant, distinguished White rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee, a true safe bet for lovers of precision and finesse. |
