Deep ruby-purple in color, this dry and savory red has aromas of plums, blackberries, cocoa, minerals, and subtle black pepper. The luxuriously textured palate features fennel and pepper spice, red and black plums, and blueberries. Great length, full-body, and melted tannins suggest this will drink beautifully for 7 more years.

Many of the Mattes-Sabran estate vineyards are located on steep hillsides, terraced into the chalky, poor soils. This tough terrain is peppered with galets roulés, the large, oval granite stones typical in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Reds are structured, mineral and richly perfumed; rosés floral and boldly flavoured.
The size of Mattes-Sabran’s vineyards is a legacy of the estate’s ancient role as the seat of the duke of Narbonne. Yet vine-growing and winemaking here truly stretches back centuries; parts of the ancient Roman ‘Via Domitia’ run through the estate.
Mattes-Sabran’s terroir can be divided into two parts: the first, smaller portion is located on the plains near the Berre River, on alluvial soils. The larger portion, higher up in the hills, includes both gravel-rich terraces with large quartz stones (seen most often in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and plots rich in limestone. The grapes are fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and aged in tanks.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
