Clos du Mont-Olivet Cotes du Rhone Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2023

$2399

This is the everyday red from one of Chateauneuf-du-Pape's great traditionalist houses, made from old vines averaging well over 50 years. Clos du Mont-Olivet traces back to the mid-1500s and is run today by the Sabon family, beacons of a fresher, more elegant style of southern Rhone. The Vieilles Vignes is Grenache-led, rounded out with Syrah, Mourvedre, and Carignan from sandy, quartz-rich parcels around Orange and on the right bank. The 2023 is pure, juicy, and fine-grained without the heaviness you might fear. It's the kind of bottle that overdelivers for a weeknight.

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.
