This wine is a perfect representation of the classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape style and is sure to impress any wine enthusiast.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige is a complex and elegant red blend, with aromas of ripe red berries, plum, leather, and a hint of spice.On the palate, it is well-structured, with a medium body, good acidity, and a long finish. The tannins are firm and present, but not overpowering, and the wine is well-balanced and full-bodied. Notes of blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of tobacco linger on the finish. This is an excellent expression of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and a wonderful example of the classic Rhône blend.

ORIGINS
Winery: Roger Sabon
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
