Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Lastly, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieille Vignes is one of the top wines in the vintage. Mostly Grenache (15% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah) that saw one-third stems, it offers a Burgundian bouquet of black cherries, redcurrants, peppery herbs, graphite, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and elegant, it has fine tannins, beautiful purity of fruit, and outstanding length. It's hard to resist today yet will benefit from just a year or two of bottle age and have over a decade of prime drinking.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine de La Janasse is, first and foremost, a family story rooted in Courthézon, in the heart of the Rhône Valley. In the 1970s, Aimé Sabon began the transformation of a farm into a benchmark wine estate. Today, Christophe Sabon carries on this tradition with infectious passion, crafting wines of consistently impressive quality. The estate spans privileged terroirs that allow for the production of particularly refined Côtes-du-Rhône and universally acclaimed Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is a pleasure to revisit the estate’s iconic cuvées, notably the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes and the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chaupin, both magnificent expressions of the terroir and family expertise. The range also extends to the Côtes du Rhône Villages Terre d'Argile and the Côtes du Rhône, offering a rich palette of red, white, and rosé wines. The Côtes du Rhône La Janasse eloquently testifies to the diversity and richness of this unique terroir. A beautiful family adventure, guided by a constant quest for excellence and pleasure. Among the most sought-after cuvées are the Domaine de la Janasse Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin, and Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Tradition—essential benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
