Clos du Mont-Olivet is a wine producer located in the southern Rhône appellation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It has been producing red and white wines from the region since 1932. The estate is owned by the Sabon family and is managed by third-generation family members Celine, David and Thierry Sabon. The estate covers just under 50 hectares (120 acres) of vineyard land across the southern Rhône, and primarily bottles wines from the appellations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, Côtes du Rhône, and Vin de France. Across the appellations, the estate boasts 21 hectares (52 acres) in Châteauneuf, 14 hectares in Lirac, 10 hectares (25 acres) in the Côtes du Rhône, as well three hectares (seven acres) in the wider Gard IGP. The terroir at each vineyard varies greatly and soils range in composition from clay and sandstone to quartzite deposits and sand. The variety of sites allows Clos du Mont-Olivet to plant specific grape varieties to preferred plots. Grenache is by far the most planted variety, followed by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. Small amounts of Counoise, Vaccarèse, Muscardin, Picpoul Noir and Terret Noir are planted at Clos du Mont-Olivet's vineyards as blending partners for the Châteauneuf-du-Pape encépagement. White varieties planted at the estate include Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Picpoul and Viognier. Vinification methods at Clos du Mont-Olivet are altered according to vintage, variety, and wine style, but the aim each year is to produce wines that convey the diversity of the estate’s grapes, soils, and overall terroir. The flagship wine, La Cuvée de Papet, is produced from grapes sourced from the estate's best and oldest vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The blend was first produced in 1989 and is only made in the best vintages. Grenache from vines planted as far back as 1901 are complemented by Mourvèdre and/or Syrah and the varieties are vinified together.
