Followers of Thierry Sabon’s handiwork and light touch with red wines at his family’s estate won’t be surprised to find that his white Châteauneuf shows similar graceful qualities and balance. Of the 27 hectares of vines that make up this domaine, two are devoted to white grapes, and all of the allowed varieties - Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Picardan and Picpoul Blanc - are planted and used in the wine, which is fermented in concrete vats and raised in neutral oak, mostly in the form of foudres but with a few barriques as well.
