History runs deep here—this estate traces its roots to 1547, and since 1990, the Cuvée du Papet has represented its pinnacle. A blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre from prime Châteauneuf lieux-dits, aged mostly in large foudre. Black cherry and mulberry meld with dried porcini and wild game notes, supported by firm, gripping tannins and fresh acidity. Classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape tradition.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"Deep bright-rimmed ruby. Sexy, spice-accented aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur, incense and succulent flowers, joined by a smoky mineral element that builds in the glass. Deep-pitched yet lively red and dark berry liqueur flavors stain the palate and display superb clarity and minerally lift. Finishes with impressive nerviness and thrust; silky tannins frame the wine’s sweet fruit." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

"The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cuvee du Papet is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, with much of the Grenache being 100+ years old. It's dark and plummy but still marked by attractive florals on the nose. Full-bodied, creamy textured and plush, it's weighty and rich, with great richness and length on the finish. Remarkably, despite reaching 15.8% alcohol, it shows no heat on the palate." —Joe Czerwinski

"Pristine black cherry and mulberry flavors are contrasted by savory hints of dried porcini and wild game in this wine. It’s full bodied and unctuous but structured by firm, gripping tannins. The finish is long and dramatic, edged by notes of sage, anise and pepper. This luxurious but nuanced wine is approachable already but will improve through 2030, likely further." —Anna Lee C. Iijima

More about Clos du Mont-Olivet

Mont-Olivet is part of a small group of resistors who refused to add the ripeness, extraction, and new oak that got better market prices in the Parker era. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, at its heart, is really a wine of elegance that develops beautifully with age. That is exactly the kind of wine that Mont-Olivet crafts.
