Light yellow color. A nose of tropical fruits, citrus and brioche. Crispy minerality in the mouth, overall concentarted,rich and tasty. Cant wait to get the new vintage :-)
Its one of my favourites whites from Chateuaneuf !
Love the Domaine and the people, always a pleasure to be there and be warm welcomed ! (125 views) | | | Tasted by SAP on 6/28/2023 & rated 94 points: After 13 month of cellaring I opened a bottle of Roger Sabon Renaissance 2021. Sadly not made in 2022 because of the weather conditions. The color is light golden. Now the bottle has a nice nose of tropical fruits paired with some honey in the background. The mouth got well integrated acidity and a good length at the palate. Its well balanced now ! Last year at the first taste the acidity was in front but now its nice to drink ! Its one of my favourite white Ch9 so i hope for a good production this year !
And i love the new label 😍
Cheers ! (203 views) |

The Sabon family has a long history in Chateauneuf du Pape. Quote from the homepage of the domain: "One of the oldest documented landholders in Chateauneuf du Pape, the Sabon family has controlled vineyards in the zone since 1540".
Roger Sabon is the father of the three brothers who run the domain today Jean-Jacques, Denis and Gilbert Sabon.
The vinification is since 2001 in the care of Didier Négron, son-in-law of Jean- Jacques Sabon.
Denis and his son Julien take care of the fields. Delphine, daughter of Denis is often in the reception.
Today the property has 15 ha. in AOC Chateauneuf du Pape and owns 17 ha. of vineyards in Roquemaure from where Lirac and Cotes du Rhone are made.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
