DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE - PAYS DE LA PRINCIPAUTÉ D'ORANGE IGP - VIOGNIER - 2021 - Southern Rhone - France

Domaine de la Janasse, named after the family farm located in Courthézon,in "La Janasse". Aimé was very aware of the potential of this beautiful region, so he did not hesitate to expand the area with new plots. Where La Janasse used to start with 15 ha, it now already comprises 90 ha. Christophe Sabon has been helping his father since 1991, and 10 years later his sister Isabelle also joined the team. Due to its fragmented structure (more than 60 plots), Domaine de La Janasse consists of a mosaic of terroirs. This spread of terroirs creates great complexity in the assemblages and also produces special cuvées such as Chaupin, Les Garrigues, Terre d'Argile and Terre de Bussières. Domaine de La Janasse became one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's gems in just a few years.

Tasting

In the nose the typical character of Viognier; floral and refreshing. A mouth-filling, intense and fruity wine with pleasant fraîche in the aftertaste.
