Overview

Roger Sabon’s Reserve is a beautiful in-between of the classically provençale Les Olivets, redolent with dried herbs and bright red fruit, and Prestige, which is dense, structured, and darkly fruited. Didier’s Reserve is a blend of 80% Grenache with the remainder about equal parts Syrah & Mourvèdre but all from vines between 60 and 75 years old. It is sourced from the lieux dits of Montolivet (red clay and galets) and Les Bosquets (sand), which combines the power and structure of the former with a freshness and aromatic complexity of the latter.
