Domaine de la Janasse is a family-owned and operated wine producer based in the Rhône Valley. It is situated in the commune of Courthézon, just north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The estate was founded in 1967 by Aimé Sabon, who took over the vineyards of his father, who had been selling fruit to a wine cooperative. This release from the 2006 vintage is a 100% old-vine Grenache from the cool climate Chapoin vineyard. Expect notes of cassis and raspberries complemented by minerals, flowers, liquorice and a touch of roasted meat.

A step up on the richness scale over the classic cuvee, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin is as sexy a Grenache as you’ll find in the vintage. Blackberry liqueur, black cherries, olives, crushed flowers and licorice all emerge from this beauty, and it hits the palate with a full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet, resolved tannin and a great finish. This blossoms with time in the glass and will continue drinking beautifully for 4-6 years.Jeb Dunnuck4th March 2016

(100% grenache) Deep ruby. Spicy red fruits and flowers on the nose, with a gentle underpinning of smoky minerals. Raspberry and blackberry dominate the palate, which is impressively deep, smooth and tannin-free. Leaves sweet red berry and tangy mineral notes behind on the impressively persistent finish. This wine's elegance will allow it to be drunk young.Josh Raynolds1st January 2009
