Clos du Mont-Olivet
Jean-Claude Sabon has considered '98 "un tres grand millesime" from the start. "I will make a lot of magnums. It will be a vintage to drink in 20 years-30 in the case of the magnums-with a civet de lievre or civet de sanglier." There will be a Cuvee Papet in '98-one of the appellation's legitimately special bottlings, as this will be the first appearance for the Papet since 1990. Sabon describes this deeply colored, powerfully structured wine as being in le gout Americain though it receives the same elevage as the regular bottling (i.e., mostly in foudres) and struck me as a classic example of Chateauneuf du Pape.
