Tasting Note

Decanter 98 points, September 2021

Full-bodied, generous in fruit and glycerol. The tannins and acidity seem to meld together into a single vertebral column. The alcohol is present, lending sweetness rather than heat. Remarkably elegant for a wine of these dimensions, with great, rising, upright flavours and structure. This is a very special wine with a long finish. Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chapouin, La Janasse and La Crau, the oldest planted in 1912.




Winemaking

 

 

 

Winery

Founded in 1967 by Aime Sabon who after concluding his military service, took over the vines from his father, quit selling wines to the local cooperative to started producing his own wines. By 1973 Aime finished the construction of its own cellar, and named the Domaine de La Janasse.

Aime acquired further plots and expanded the estate from the original 15 hectares to over 90 hectares the domaine owns nowadays.

In 1991 after concluding a technical diploma in viticulture and oenology in Macon Christophe Sabon (Aime eldest son), took over the domaine from his father. In 2001 his sister Isabelle a graduated winemaker from the University of Toulouse joined the team.
