description: Better known for his Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine Roger Sabon actually owns more acreage on the Lirac side of the river. This cuvée, made from 40-50-year-old vines, is a big, muscular Lirac marked by hints of tree bark and dark, plummy fruit. Powerful and long on the finish; drink from 2008–2015.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Chapelle de Maillac
