Description
Simon Field MW, Rhône Wine Buyer
Head winemaker, Didier Negron (son in law of the late Jean-Jacques Sabon) was so impressed by the enthusiasm and knowledge of our customers he met at our En Primeur Tasting that he wanted to offer Berry Bros. & Rudd’s customers an additional parcel of his top wine, Le Secret de Sabon.
Roger Sabon was described by Robert Parker as "one of the more intellectual vignerons in Châteauneuf du-Pape". There are four red wines produced by Roger Sabon, the first three are blends of vineyards’ fruit and the final, Le Secret, more site-specific and made in very small volumes and only in certain years.
Chris Pollington, Private Account Manager
Didier Negron places 2012 between 2010 and 2011 stylistically, praising its structure and finesse. A little rain in August was helpful for the grapes, ensuring equilibrium, with both yields and pH levels lower than normal. There are four red wines, the first three selected primarily on perceived merit and the final, Le Secret, more site-specific and made in very small volumes.
