Clos du Mont Olivet

Clos du Mont Olivet is a 60-acre estate in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, in France’s Rhone Valley. Though wine has been made on the estate for centuries, the estate’s modern history started in 1932 when Seraphin Sabon married the daughter of a local landowner and the couple started Clos Mont Olivet. Today the estate is run by the third and fourth generations of the Sabon family. The estate’s vineyards include parcels in Cotes-du-Rhone as well as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and it makes red and white wines. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Clos du Mont Olivet “one of the very best Chateauneuf-du-Papes….a splendidly rich, old-style Chateauneu-du-Pape from ancient vines…”
