2009 Châteauneuf du Pape, Cuvée Prestige Domaine Roger Sabon

Chateauneuf du Pape, Cuvee Prestige Domaine Roger Sabon
Rhône 2009 - Berrys Recommends
Another impressive effort from this fast rising estate. The 2009 Cuvee Prestige is dense and full of dark fruit, lavender and savoury spice. One for the long term with an excellent future.
(Chris Pollington, BBR Fine Wine)


Grenache is joined in this outstanding cuvée by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and the less well-known Vaccarèse and Counoise. This is the best Prestige that we have encountered at this age, its dark beguiling fruit perfectly allied to notes of licorice, Provençal herbs and hints of autumnal leaves.

Jean-Jacques Sabon and his loquacious winemaker son-in-law Didier Negron farm seventeen hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their thirteen parcels yield four impressively diverse cuvées of which Le Secret is recognised as one of the greatest wines in the whole appellation. The house philosophy is built upon a regime of lengthy macerations allied to gentle extractions of fruit. Didier, rather unusually, compares 2009 with 2006, but underlines that the current vintage has more power and ageing potential.

Chateauneuf du Pape, Cuvee Prestige Domaine Roger Sabon
Roger Sabon's Prestige 2009 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is very dark purplish crimson. Heady and intense. Going for gold! Very ambitious and full of true Châteauneuf flavours. There is a great deal of tannin there but one has the impression that the fruit is worth waiting for.
