Domaine de la Janasse ‘Cuve Prestige’ Chteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2014

The Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Prestige from Domaine de la Janasse is sourced from sandy soils in the lieu-dit of La Janasse. It is almost three quarters Roussanne with the remaining blend comprised of Grenache Blanc and Clairette. After harvesting the fruit by hand, it is sorted and pressed into French oak barrels for fermentation and aging.

Over the last quarter-century, Domaine de la Janasse has become one of the most highly-regarded estates in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Led by siblings Christophe and Isabelle Sabon, the estate combines the best of both traditional and modern techniques to craft a collection of truly riveting wines from simple value-priced VDPs to their benchmark Chateauneufs.
