Domaine de Saje Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016 750 ML

For many years Jerome Mathieu worked alongside his brother, Andre, at Domaine Mathieu managing the estate passed down from their parents. In 2015 Andre`s eldest son came of age and the brothers amicably agreed to split the domaine to have clear lines of inheritance. Jerome, who lives in his grandfather`s house in the center of the village, revamped his grandfather`s old cellar to prepare to make wine under his own roof as of 2016. He created Saje and began to use this label with the 2013 vintage. Saje is an abbreviation of the names of his wife and son as well as his own. It`s also a play on the French word ?sage? which means the same in French as it does in English: to be wise.
