First produced in 1989. The flagship of the estate, made only in the great vintages from very old Grenache vines (the oldest were planted in 1901) supplemented with Mourvèdre and/or Syrah in varying proportions depending on the vintage.All the grape varieties ferment together to produce a concentrated but elegant wine with great length....
"From a sample tasted in vats. Obvious finesse, original, pure aromas, in a structure of perfect proportions. Very long finish. Close to perfection. Can't wait for the bets" 19/20 Bettane + Desseauve Guide 2019
"The nose is well laid out and offers the full range of aromas of this terroir. The palate is sensual, ample, voluptuous, with the generosity of the vintage, but without imbalance, with caressing tannins. The tannins give relief to the wine but are well blended in the volume of the mouth. Its elegance of style carries us away" 19/20 RVF Guide 2019

The Estate Clos du Mont-Olivet
The Clos du Mont Olivet was created in 1932 by Séraphin Sabon, and since its origins the family estate has been producing high quality, classic Châteauneuf du Pape on magnificent terroirs, as well as Côtes du Rhône wines of excellent quality.
The vineyard covers 32 hectares, 20.5 hectares of which are used for the Châteauneuf wines, which are made from a large majority of Grenache grapes, while the whites are made from Bourboulenc and Roussanne.
The domain still seems to be unknown in the area. But for how much longer...? The wines of the domain are regularly acclaimed by the finest tasters such as Parker, Bettane & Desseauve, RVF who often place Clos du Mont Olivet among the elite of the region.
The wines are always very deep, rich, imbued with their terroir, ready to stand the test of time. They will begin to peak at 10 years of age and will finish well after 20 years, depending on the vintage, when they will deliver all their aromatic complexity, which is impressive here. The Petit Mont is easier to access because of its constitution and also because of its really angelic price... As for the Côtes du Rhône, they are very good alternatives, providing a maximum of pleasure, like this Varène, which is predominantly Syrah and offers exceptional value for money... Then you may have the opportunity to touch the grail with this Papet cuvée produced only in the best vintages, which is the flagship cuvée of wine lovers.
The Clos du Mont Olivet is to be discovered as a matter of urgency because of the quality and consistency of all the vintages. Come and discover them on the website Les Passionnés du Vin. You can taste them with a multitude of dishes (game, meat in sauce, certain cheeses...) for exceptional tasting moments. Enjoy them and consume them in moderation.
