Domaine de la Janasse, founded in 1973 by Aimé Sabon and now run by his children, is renowned for its exceptional Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. The 2005 vintage of their Vieilles Vignes is a full-bodied, concentrated red with deep plum hues. Aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and earthy notes lead into a rich, textured palate with integrated acidity. The wine`s long, persistent finish highlights its potential for ageing. This vintage exemplifies Domaine de la Janasse’s commitment to crafting wines that showcase the distinctive terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

One of the true superstars in the vintage, the Sabon’s 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is deeper and richer than the cuvee Chaupin, yet stays just as balanced, fresh and drinkable. Loaded with notes of ripe black fruits, smoked herbs, smoked meats and licorice, it has full-bodied richness and power, a deep, decadent texture and beautifully integrated acidity which keeps it pure, lively and fresh. It’s another incredible wine from this estate that will continue to thrill for a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes shows forest floor, stewed red fruits and a touch of truffle, coming across more developed and less vibrant than the Chaupin from the same vintage. Full-bodied and fully mature, the 2005's fruit feels a little tired by comparison, though this particular bottle was probably not the most representative. Nicolas Greinacher22nd December 2025
