Persoonlijke gegevens
The vines for the Principauté d'Orange Viognier are planted in soils of gravel, sand, and large boulders. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and subject to rigorous selection, both during harvest and on the sorting tables. A pneumatic pressing is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. After fermentation, the wine is aged "sur lie" for six months in oak barrels (25% new wood). All wines are traditionally crafted and are distinguished by a combination of power and finesse. The Pays de la Principauté d'Orange IGP Viognier is a 100% Viognier. A beautiful straw yellow in the glass, the nose displays distinct Viognier notes of spring flowers, yellow fruit, and freshness. On the palate, the wine is creamy, full-bodied, and fruity, with a pleasant freshness on the finish.
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!

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Pays de la Principauté d’Orange Viognier van Domaine de la Janasse biedt een romige, volle wijn met romige textuur en een elegante frisheid, aangevuld met voorjaarsbloemen, geel fruit en een subtiele mineraliteit. In de mond voelt hij rijk en doordachtig aan het palet, terwijl de fraîcheur aan de finish ervoor zorgt dat hij fris en uitnodigend blijft. Perfect bij een terrassetting of romantische maaltijd combineert hij delicate vis- en schelpdiergerechten, romige risottos of gegrilde kip met frisse kruiden; serveer licht gekoeld en laat hem even rusten zodat de aroma’s volledig kunnen openen. Probeer hem eens met een kort gegrild visje naast een romige saus of een bloemrijke groententaart en laat de wijn de maaltijd elegant verheffen. |

Two-thirds of the 2017 IGP Principaute d'Orange Viognier was barrel fermented and aged (only 10% new oak), while the remainder went into concrete. It's medium to full-bodied, with strong varietal notes of flowers and apricots, honeyed richness on the mid-palate and a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
Although I showed up considerably late for my appointment with the brother-sister team of Christophe and Isabelle Sabon, Christophe wore his customary, irrepressible smile. The French soccer team was ahead in their World Cup match, and he was showing off the domaine's stellar 2016s. "It's my father's 50th harvest," he said. "And he thinks it's the best. It's incredible because you have power, finesse and acidity." Interestingly, the Sabons are planting Grenache Gris and Clairette Rose for possible inclusion in red wines, which Christophe said he hopes will add some freshness to Grenache. Worth noting is that the family also owns Clos St Antonin (tasted on this visit but written up under its own heading).

Domaine de la Janasse dates from 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 ha of vineyard. The total area now exists of 55 ha and is currently run by son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. He is a very successful winemaker! Christophe cultivates more than 15 hectares of vineyards in total. The variety of different grapes is very large, including Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, Carignan, Bourboulenc, Counoise. All wines are made classically and excel through the combination of power and finesse. The vineyards are located on a difficult surface of pebble, sand and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 90 years old. The yield is usually less than 30 hl / ha due to strict pruning and a rigorous vendange verte. Christophe also works almost exclusively organically. Janasse's big break came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 points Parker !! All their wines score excellent year after year. The quality of this domain is so great that even their "ordinary" Côtes-du-Rhône "is already highly regarded worldwide!
