Note di degustazione
The star of the show from this year’s tasting at Domaine Roger Sabon is the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret de Sabon. Made from 95% Grenache and other permitted varieties, it opens with enticing aromas of glossy red and black fruits, dried lavender, licorice, crème de cassis, white pepper, a wide array of exotic spices and a hint of menthol. Expanding vertically on the palate, it shows outstanding complexity and an intricate web of ever-so-velvety tannins. It is a deep wine with stunning precision, showing-off a sapid finish that lasts for well over a minute. Like in 2021, only 3,000 bottles were produced.

Showing the class of the vintage, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon reveals beautiful darker berries, meaty black cherries, sandalwood, and peppery garrigue nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, pure, and focused, with ripe, polished tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. I love the incredibly pure, layered, graceful, yet powerful style that defines this quintessential 2020. Drink 2025-2045.
The full-bodied 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret de Sabon offers up stunning aromas of roses, raspberries, black cherries, pine sap and garrigue. Silky and elegant, it finishes long and mouthwatering. Almost entirely Grenache from a couple of old-vine parcels on sandier sites than the majority of the domaine's offerings, it's a beautiful wine by any measure.
