Sabrine was the name of the daughter of the previous owner of the land. We decided to keep it because it expresses what we want to achieve for this wine - complexity and power coming from the terroir but also freshness and elegance to make this wine a good transition between our regular Côtes du Rhône and our Châteauneuf du Pape Les Cailloux. The grapes come mainly from a single plot located north of Orange. The soil is rich and the fine gravel we find on the first meter of the soil is a perfect draining system keeping the vine in continuous search for water.
A great taste of red fruits. The tannins are harmonious and elegant. Nice finish and mouthfeel allowing for even more complex aromas. Cuvée Sabrine combines strength and elegance yet is still easy to drink for every day or with meals.
These wines should be kept at least 2 to 3 years to show their full potential. Their peak should be reached after 5 years of aging.
