2018 Rhone by Roger Sabon Cotes Du Rhone

The Sabon family is an ancient and well-regarded name in Châteauneufdu-Pape first mentioned in documents dating to 1540. Domaine Roger Sabon was founded in 1952 and is currently run by Roger’s sons Denis and Gilbert. A third son, Jean-Jacques is deceased but his son-in-law Didier Negron is the current winemaker. Denis and his son Julien oversee the farming while Gilbert and his niece, Delphine run the offi ce. It is quite the family affair!

The size of the domaine has grown slowly over the years with 18 hectares in Chateauneuf du Pape, 8 hectares in Lirac and 8 hectares in Côtes-duRhône.
