Domaine de la Janasse - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Blanc - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a classic, offering lovely notes of white flowers and a hint of fennel. Grounded in its mineral dimension, this well-balanced white wine has no excessive alcohol, exuding total freshness, with fine bitterness and a beautifully round, indulgent mouthfeel.

Vinification:

Hand harvested and sorted on the vine. 1.1 ha on sandy-clay terroir, in the localities of La Janasse and La Crau. Pneumatic pressing, vinification in vats for Grenache and Clairette and in barrels for Roussanne. Aged on lees for 7 months in vats for the Grenache and Clairette, and in barrels (3/4 new) with bâtonnage for the Roussanne.

Temperature:

Serve between 10 and 12°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Fillet of Saint-Pierre cooked on the skin, salt-crusted sea bass, scallops.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2032.

A jewel of the Southern Rhône and recipient of 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Domaine de la Janasse is a highly sought-after estate known for its exceptional consistency. The Sabon family passionately nurtures this estate, producing notable wines in both Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes-du-Rhône.

It’s important to understand that everything here is outstanding! Excellence is achieved across all cuvées, thanks to meticulous efforts in both cultivation and vinification, as well as an ideal fragmentation of vineyard parcels.

With perfectly achieved ripeness, the wines are powerful yet exhibit great finesse and freshness. They are the preferred choice of Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World and a member of our Tasting Committee!
