The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A jewel of the southern Rhône Valley and awarded 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Domaine de la Janasse is a highly sought-after estate renowned for its exceptional consistency. The Sabon family tends it with passion, crafting remarkable wines across both Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes-du-Rhône.

Here, excellence is the standard. Every cuvée reflects meticulous care in the vineyard and cellar, supported by an exceptional patchwork of parcels and a remarkable heritage of vines.

With perfectly achieved ripeness, the wines offer power, finesse, and impressive freshness. They are a favorite of Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World and a member of our Tasting Committee!
Wine The 2021 Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a masterclass in elegance and balance. With Grenache leading the blend, it reveals delicate floral and spiced aromas, along with flavors of perfectly ripened fruit. The texture is silky and harmonious, showcasing freshness and finesse that set it apart from richer vintages. Its polished tannins and well-defined structure make it enjoyable now, with the potential to age beautifully over the next 10 years. Rated 93/100 by RVF.
