Overview

Domaine Roger Sabon sources its white varieties from the lieu-dit of La Crau Ouest on sandy and chalky soils. The main varieties are Roussanne and Grenache Blanc (about 30% each) and slightly less Clairette and Bourboulenc (20% each) – but depending on the vintage, these percentages change slightly. Each variety is harvested by hand when ripe and then gently pressed with the juice going into a 25hl French oak vat kept cold until all the varieties are harvested and pressed. It is then allowed to warm for co-fermentation to begin.
