2024 Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

The Janasse CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE BLANC is a very serious and superbly elegant wine. It's a complex fruit bomb with peach, citrus, pear, and vanilla. This white Châteauneuf du Pape is a blend of 50% Grenache Blanc, 25% Clairette, and 25% Roussanne. The wine has a ripe texture with hints of lemon peel. The finish reveals a touch of saltiness and a pleasant bitterness, and what lingers is a delightful, lasting feeling of freshness.

Domaine de la Janasse dates back to 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 hectares of vineyards. The total area now comprises 55 hectares and is currently run by his son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. The vineyards are situated on challenging soils of gravel, sand, and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 80 years old. Yields are usually less than 30 hl/ha due to strict pruning and a rigorous vendange verte (green season).

Janasse's big breakthrough came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 Parker points! Year after year, all their wines have been rated excellent. The quality of this estate is so high that even their "regular" Cotes-du-Rhone is already highly regarded worldwide! This is truly a top-notch estate!
