Wine Description:
Clos du Mont-Olivet Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes, with a winemaking legacy dating back to a 1547 notarial deed referencing a vineyard sale, embodies over five centuries of history. While the Sabon family established a formal connection to the vineyards in the early 1900s, the estate's roots extend much further. Founded in 1932 by Séraphin and Marie Sabon, the winery transitioned through generations. Today, Celine, David, and Thierry lead with dedication, overseeing 21 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 14 in Lirac, 10 in Côtes du Rhône, and 3 in Vin de Pays du Gard. Their diverse plots allow each grape variety to thrive in its optimal soil, resulting in exceptional reds dominated by Grenache, complemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and others, while whites showcase a blend of Clairette blanche, Bourboulenc, Rouzanne, Grenache blanc, and more.
