Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
I suppose one could say this wine was made in a quasi-modern style given its blackpurple color and sweet nose of creme de cassis and raspberries. It is a great Chateauneuf du Pape, with power, elegance, immense purity, a majestic, multi-layered feel in the mouth, and a finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. Although it remains unevolved and somewhat grapy, everything is present for a fabulous evolution of two decades or more.

Château Domaine de La Janasse
Domaine de La Janasse

The Domaine de la Janasse was created in 1973 by Aimé Sabon. La Janasse is the name of the family farm located in Courthézon in the Vaucluse department. This estate is undoubtedly one of the notable references in the Rhône Valley.

In 20 years, the estate has continued to progress and offers excellent country wines as well as beautiful Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvées. The success of this estate is a family achievement as the entire Sabon family is invested in it. Domaine de la Janasse Vieilles Vignes 2008 is a cuvée from four plots located on different but complementary terroirs in the blend (a "southern" terroir composed of rolled pebbles that brings richness and power; a terroir located in the same place as Chaupin for freshness and acidity; a terroir of red clay covered with rolled pebbles but very late-ripening as it is located in the north of the appellation, which brings structure and body; and finally, a sandy-limestone hillside that provides finesse). The grape clusters showed extraordinary concentration with well-ripened skins that, like on the Chaupin terroir, fully benefited from the optimal September conditions.
