2019 was another marvellous vintage in Châteauneuf du Pape and precious few wines were better than Domaine Roger Sabon’s Châteauneuf du Pape ‘Prestige’. Just nine bottles remain at LCBO.com. Here’s what the wine critics say about it:
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
 Jeb Dunnuck 11/3/2021
"Slightly more straight, focused, and elegant, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Prestige is a brilliant 2019 in every way. Pure blackberries, black cherries, graphite, crushed stone, and peppery herb notes define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with remarkable purity and a blockbuster of a finish. This is one classy, seamless, elegant Châteauneuf du Pape that will benefit from 4–5 years of bottle age and have 25 years of overall longevity." (96 pts.)
 Wine Spectator Nov 15, 2021
"Sleek, dark and winey, with nice flow and cut to the raspberry and blackberry puree flavors, infused with dark tea and carried by a graphite edge. Lingering anise and fruitcake notes sparkle through the finish. Beautifully done. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise and Vaccarèse. Drink now through 2036. 700 cases made, 168 cases imported." (94 pts.)
 Vinous Oct 2021
"Full, bright-rimmed ruby. Pungent black and blue fruits, potpourri, licorice and Moroccan spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Stains the palate with sweet boysenberry, bitter cherry and lavender pastille flavors, which are sharpened by building mineral and spice flourishes. Shows impressive depth and power but comes off surprisingly lively, delivering solid floral thrust on the long, youthfully gripping finish." (94 pts.)
I’d be pleased to order for you. Just let me know how many you would like and to which LCBO store you would like it sent.
