Producer Information

Domaine de la Janasse is a Chteauneuf-du-Pape producer owned and operated by the Sabon family. It was founded in 1967 by Aim Sabon when he took over the vineyards of his father, who had been selling fruit to a wine cooperative. A cellar was completed in 1973 and the name “La Janasse” was chosen from a local regional name in Courthzon to the north of Chteauneuf-du-Pape, where the family farm was located. In 1991 Aim’s son Christophe joined the estate, followed by his daughter Isabelle in 2001. Domaine de la Janasse began with 15 hectares (37 acres) of estate vineyards and now has more than 90 hectares (220 acres), with 15 hectares (37 acres) in Chteauneuf-du-Pape. The winery makes a number of wines including red and white Ctes du Rhone, and a number of IGP wines, but the flagship wines have always been the Chteauneuf-du-Pape reds. The winery makes three distinct expressions: Domaine de la Janasse Tradition, Chaupin and Vieilles Vignes.
