Clos Du Mont Olivet Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee du Papet 2015 750ml
Clos Du Mont Olivet Chateauneuf-Du-Pape "Cuvee du Papet" 2015 is a distinguished French red wine produced by Famille Sabon in the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Southern Rhône Valley. Recognised as one of the estate's flagship cuvées, this exceptional wine showcases the depth and complexity of old-vine Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre.
The 2015 vintage delivers concentrated dark fruit flavours, expressive Provençal herbs and savoury complexity, supported by refined tannins and balanced freshness. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry mingle with pepper, liquorice, cured meat and Mediterranean herbs, creating a rich and layered aromatic profile.
Crafted from carefully selected grapes sourced from distinctive vineyard sites, the wine combines traditional Rhône winemaking with thoughtful ageing in large oak foudres and older barrels. Its full-bodied palate, polished structure and persistent finish reflect both the quality of the vintage and the estate's commitment to producing age-worthy wines.
With its combination of power, elegance and savoury depth, Cuvée du Papet 2015 is an excellent choice for collectors, special occasions and refined dining. It pairs particularly well with roasted meats, game, slow-cooked dishes and richly flavoured Mediterranean cuisine.
