Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC 2021 Clos du Mont-Olivet

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a red wine from the Clos du Mont-Olivet, whose origins seem to date back to the 1500s or the episode of the sale of a vineyard called "ad montem oliveti". The Sabon family is linked to this territory in the early 1900s, where today the vineyards extend into 3 denominations: 21 hectares in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, 14 hectares in the Lirac AOC, 10 hectares in the Cotes du Rhone AOC, 3 hectares in the Vin de Pays du Gard AOC.

After a partial destemming of the grapes, the grapes are pressed and the must vinified in concrete tanks, where the malolactic fermentation also takes place. After the final assembly, the wine continues to mature vats of different materials and sizes: 70% in large vats (60 years), 20% in concrete vats and 10% in old barrels.

In the glass it has a ruby color. The nose is broad and complex, with aromas of red fruits, herbaceous and spicy notes. On the palate it is enveloping, with well integrated tannins and a long persistence.

Ideal in combination with red meats and roasted and stewed game.
