Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Secret des Sabon 2001 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley of France. Domaine Roger Sabon`s Le Secret de Sabon cuvée is the flagship cuvée of the domaine. A Grenache-dominant wine, it is typically limited to just a single demi-muid cask and is produced from some of the domaine`s oldest vines. The 2001 Le Secret des Sabon is available here in magnum format. "This was more than made up for by the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret du Sabon, which was insanely good. Still inky in colour (as are most of the top 2001s), it has incredible aromas of cassis, liquorice, red wine marinade, roasted meats and bouquet garni that flow to a full-bodied, massive, yet seamless and layered wine that never puts a foot wrong. I don`t know if I prefer it over the `07 or `10, but its monumental stuff, without a doubt." 100 points, Wine Advocate, 2014

The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape le Secret de Sabon—a 100-point wine earlier in its life (albeit from different reviewers)—seems just a little past its apogee. It`s still plenty dark in hue, but shows a touch of bricking at the rim. On the nose, it offers up notes of tar, black cherries, blackberries and cocoa. Full-bodied, rich and velvety on the palate, with a long, elegant finish, it`s enormously enjoyable, and it`s possible that with a bit more time in the decanter, or from another bottle, this wine could still reach 100 points. That said, it`s worth remembering that wines are not immortal, and they are made to be consumed, not hoarded indefinitely.
