Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Le Secret des Sabon, Rhone, France 2020 Bodegas Botani and liquid violetsThe full bodied 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret de Sabon offers up stunning aromas of roses, raspberries, black cherries, pine sap and garrigue. Silky and elegant, it finishes long and mouthwatering. Almost entirely Grenache from a couple of old vine parcels on sandier sites than the majority of the domaine's offerings, it's a beautiful wine by any measure. 97 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
