Clos du Mont-Olivet Cotes du Rhone Blanc 2023

$2499

Clos du Mont-Olivet is one of the great old-guard estates of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, run by the Sabon family across multiple generations. Their Cotes du Rhone Blanc is the accessible expression — a southern Rhone white blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier, Bourboulenc and Roussanne grown on stony soils outside the appellation proper, vinified mostly in tank to keep the focus on freshness and texture. It drinks with the kind of effortless charm that southern Rhone whites do at their best: ripe but never heavy, herbal, faintly saline. A house white in the truest sense.

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.
