Domaine de la Janasse was created in 1973 by Aimé Sabon and is now run by the exceptionally talented Christophe Sabon and his oenologist sister, Isabelle. Christophe has introduced organic farming to the domaine and concentrated on the old vines of the property in a way that has made this estate one of the highly sought-after domaines of the region. The wines, whether simple Cotes du Rhones or Chateauneufdu- Papes, are luscious, concentrated examples of what this lovely area can produce.

"Forward, with medium-weight plum and spice notes backed by an open-knit, toasty finish. Drink now. " -Rated 87, Wine Spectator

"The 2006 Cotes du Rhone, which is aged totally in foudres, is a wine of 50% Grenache, 23% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault, Mourvedre, and Syrah. This deep ruby/purple wine reveals loads of pepper, licorice, smoke, herbs, and sweet cherry and black currant. Excellent texture, medium body, soft tannins, and low acidity make for quite a luscious style of wine to drink over the next 3-4 years. Tasting at Janasse is fun. It is a large estate of 195 acres with 45 of them situated in Chateauneuf du Pape. Even if you weren’t obsessed with their fabulous Chateauneuf du Papes, they have a portfolio of brilliant wines from Cotes du Rhone as well as a vin de pays. Young proprietor Christophe Sabon, working with his wife and father, continues to fine-tune his winemaking skills. He is already brilliant at reds and shows increasing confidence in the quality of his white wine cuvees." -Rated 87, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
