      Domaine De La Janasse is located in the region Côtes-Du-Rhône within the Château-Neuf-du-Pape appellation. In 1973 Aimé Sabon took over the winery from his father, who had been selling his grapes to a big corporation since 1912. Crafted from meticulously selected grapes grown in the renowned vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de la Janasse XXL is the culmination of a legacy rooted in passion and tradition. The vineyards, blessed with optimal sun exposure and a unique combination of soils, yield grapes of exceptional quality and concentration. Handpicked at peak ripeness, the grapes undergo a meticulous sorting process before undergoing fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, where it matures gracefully, developing its signature complexity and character. Each bottle of Domaine de la Janasse XXL is a testament to the estate's unwavering commitment to excellence, offering wine enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience the pinnacle of Rhône Valley winemaking. Indulge in the opulent richness of Domaine de la Janasse XXL, a wine that embodies the essence of its prestigious terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship of its winemakers. This extraordinary blend opens with an enchanting bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plump blueberries, interwoven with nuances of fragrant violets, warm baking spices, and hints of leather. On the palate, layers of luscious dark fruit flavors unfold gracefully, supported by velvety tannins and a backbone of well-integrated oak. The wine's exceptional depth and complexity are underscored by a vibrant acidity, lending balance and finesse to its luxurious texture. With a finish that lingers on the palate, leaving traces of dark chocolate and espresso, Domaine de la Janasse XXL is a true masterpiece that captivates the senses with every sip.

    Domaine de la Janasse

    In 1967, Aimé Sabon came back from his military service. He took over his father’s vines, who used to take his grapes to the wine cooperative. In 1973, Aimé built his own cellar. Domaine de la Janasse was born and named after the family farm that was in Courthézon, in the locality of “La Janasse”. Aimé was ambitious. He knew he had fabulous soil and he wanted to expand the estate by acquiring new plots. From 15 hectares at the very beginning, La Janasse has now reached more than 90 hectares.

    In 1991, after a technical diploma in viticulture and oenology in Beaune, and another one in marketing in Mâcon, Christophe Sabon –Aimé’s eldest son– came back to La Janasse where he was given the keys to the cellar. From then different cuvees were developed, new markets conquered. In 2001, Isabelle –Aimé’s daughter– graduated as an oenologist from the University of Toulouse, and joined the team. With Hélène, Aimé’s wife, the family was reunited again in La Janasse.
