CHW Confidential
With roots that trace back to 1547, the Sabon family sources this 40-year-old-vine blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignane from their gravel and clay-pocked estate vineyard in the northern reaches of the southern Rhône, on the border of Vaucluse and Drôme. How the French can produce 600 cases of wine like this and sell it such that I can offer it to you at $15 boggles the mind – if you added a villages appellation to this (such as Vacqueyras or Gigondas), its $30-40/bottle.
