North of the village of Courthézon and just a stone’s throw away from the eastern border of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Christophe and Isabel Sabon farm a 15-hectare plot of old vines on gravelly, red clay soils. With similar soils, elevation, and aspect to Châteauneuf and treated in the cellar with the same care and respect, it’s no wonder that when tasted blind many would confuse this wine for Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Slightly darker hued, the 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Villages Terre D’Argile has more black raspberry and darker cherry notes as well as lots of spicy herbs, flowers, and garrigue-like nuances. Wonderfully textured, medium to full-bodied, with a kiss of background oak, this rock star Côtes Du Rhône should be purchased by the case.
