Also thrilling stuff, the 1957 Chateauneuf du Pape has gorgeous sweetness of fruit on the palate to go with complex aromas and flavors of game, autumn leaves, earth and tobacco. Certainly fully mature, it, like the 1961, has real character, texture and depth, and was a joy to drink. We finished the tasting with two releases from the 1940s, both of which were past maturity and on a downward slope, yet still offered some charm. I’m not sure if this estate produces one of the longest-lived Chateauneuf du Papes out there, or if it just seems that way due to the fact that they have such a fantastic library of old wines and I’m able to taste more of them! Nevertheless, Clos du Mont Olivet, which is now run by Thierry Sabon, is a brilliant estate that fashions traditional, age-worthy Chateauneuf du Papes that have incredibly broad drink windows.
