Chateauneuf du Pape Clos du Mont Olivet

Founded in 1932 by Séraphin Sabon when he married Marie Jausset, daughter of a local landowner; Joseph Sabon`s three sons expanded it from 1978. About 21 hectares in Châteauneuf, highly fragmented across lieux-dits such as Montalivet, La Crau and Bois Dauphin. Traditional: partly destemmed, steel tank fermentation, ageing in foudres, tank and demi-muids, bottled unfiltered. Robert Parker calls it one of the benchmark producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
