The vines for the Principauté d'Orange Viognier are planted on a subsoil of gravel, sand and large boulders. The grapes are picked entirely by hand and selected very strictly, both during the harvest and on the sorting tables and after a pneumatic pressing a temperature-controlled fermentation follows. After fermentation the wine matures for 6 months "sur lie" in oak barrels (25% new wood). All wines are made classically and are distinguished by the combination of power and finesse. The Pays de la Principauté d'Orange IGP Viognier is a 100% viognier. In the glass a beautiful straw yellow with in the nose the obvious Viognier tones with spring flowers, yellow fruit and freshness. In the mouth the wine is creamy, full-bodied, fruity with a pleasant freshness in the aftertaste.

Domaine de la Janasse dates back to 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 ha of vineyard. The total surface area now consists of 55 ha and is currently run by son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. The vineyards are located on a difficult subsoil of gravel, sand and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 80 years old. The yield is usually less than 30 hl/ha due to strict pruning and a rigorous vendange verte.

Janasse's big breakthrough came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 Parker points!! Year after year, all their wines score excellent. The quality of this domaine is so great that even their "regular" Cotes-du-Rhone has a high reputation worldwide! This is really a TOP domaine!
