Stick a fork in and turn us over, we’re done. 

After 6 months of grueling pleading, begging, negotiating, and deal making….BOOM! JANASSE CHATEAUNEUF lands in our sweet, sweet warehouse --- oh, lordy, what a day!!

“Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.” -- Walt Whitman

Oh, we are happy. Oh yes. This is a glorious wine to drink and/or hold on to -- 2015s are lush and approachable and packed with flavor -- that raspberry ganache! The cherry extract! The sweet herbs-on-the-Provence-wind nose!! AHHH! Must have! Terrifically supple, warm and generous, with great length and texture. So delicious. THE PRICE! Incredible -- please JUMP on this while we have it -- who knows when we’ll see a deal like this again?

Due to its fragmented structure -more than sixty plots- the area of La Janasse covers a mosaic of terroirs. Thorough research on soil, exposure and microclimates helped to ideally organize the vineyard. White varieties and syrahs were preferably planted on sandy limestones, exposed eastward of the appellation in order to preserve freshness, acidity and fineness. Mourvedres were planted on clay-limestone soils covered with river rocks so as to reach perfect maturity.

About The Producer

In 1967, Aimé Sabon came back from his military service. He took over his father’s vines, who used to take his grapes to the wine cooperative. In 1973, Aimé built his own cellar. Domaine de la Janasse was born and named after the family farm that was in Courthézon, in the locality of “La Janasse”. Aimé was ambitious. He knew he had fabulous soil and he wanted to expand the estate by acquiring new plots. From 15 hectares at the very beginning, La Janasse has now reached more than 90 hectares.

In 1991, after a technical diploma in viticulture and oenology in Beaune, and another one in marketing in Mâcon, Christophe Sabon –Aimé’s eldest son– came back to La Janasse where he was given the keys to the cellar. From then different cuvees were developed, new markets conquered. In 2001, Isabelle –Aimé’s daughter– graduated as an oenologist from the University of Toulouse, and joined the team. With Hélène, Aimé’s wife, the family was reunited again in La Janasse.
