93+ Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate

"The Sabon's 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve, a blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre sourced from vines planted on La Crau Ouest and La Grenade, evokes a dense, deep bouquet of lead pencil, licorice, spices, dark wild berries and fresh thyme. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it's perfectly balanced with a layered mid-palate framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. It will take some time for this powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape to hit its strike."

93 Wine Spectator

"Starts off caressing in feel, with ripe wild berry and blackberry paste edged in accents of herbs and smoked apple wood. A graphite layer picks up steam and guides the long, substantial finish. Full and concentrated but not heavy, offering sauve, polished pleasure. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2026 through 2036. 780 cases made, 200 cases imported. -KB"

93 Nicolas Greinacher - Vinous

"Wild strawberries, ripe black fruits, licorice, cured meat and iodine introduce the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve, a bold and concentrated effort from Roger Sabon. Crushed rocks add more complexity. Tightly knit with firm tannins, the powerful 2022 needs a long stay in a cool cellar. A long and savory finale wraps it up."
