This is the flagship, the wine the Sabon family built its reputation on, and it earns every bit of the reverence. Domaine de la Janasse draws the Vieilles Vignes from century-old, Grenache-dominated vines across four complementary terroirs of Chateauneuf-du-Pape: rounded galets for power, sand for freshness, red clay for structure, and limestone for finesse. Blend those together from ancient vines and you get a Chateauneuf of remarkable depth and layering. The hot, dry 2017 vintage produced small, thick-skinned berries and powerful, structured reds built for the cellar. Big, concentrated, and ageworthy, this is Southern Rhone at the very top of its game.
