TASTING NOTES

Domaine De La Janasse is located in the region Côtes-Du-Rhône within the Château-Neuf-du-Pape appellation. In 1973 Aimé Sabon took over the winery from his father, who had been selling his grapes to a big corporation since 1912.

Crafted predominantly from old-vine Grenache, this wine exudes an enticing perfume of red fruits, violet, and garrigue herbs, with a touch of exotic spice On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, concentrated flavors of ripe raspberries and black cherries, and a seamless integration of tannins, culminating in a long and seductive finish.

Rich black cherry and strawberry fruit, with impressive density and palate weight. The balance is good, with fur-coat tannins and admirable freshness. Yet again, this vintage turns out a wine seemingly far too good for the climatic conditions – but the evidence is here. Will be ready much sooner than the Vieilles Vignes cuvée, and is very close if not equal in quality, but just in a less robust, structured style. Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chapouin, La Janasse and La Crau, the oldest planted in 1912.

Looking at the two top cuvées, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin (100% Grenache fermented with 50% stems and brought up in foudre and demi-muids) is up-front and sexy, with classic wild strawberry and kirsch notes as well as Provençal herbs, licorice, and spring flowers. It's pretty, medium to full-bodied, has fine, integrated tannins, and outstanding length.

A superb, well-driven and precise 100% grenache. Lovely nose of sweet cherries, currants, wild herbs and sweet spices. Full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Intense and well-crafted, with a vivid core of sweet berries and spices on the center palate. There is plenty of energy and a solid frame of tannins coating the palate at this stage. Crushed raspberries in the finish with some orange peel character and excellent persistence. Driven and long. Try after 2028.
