Buy or order Domaine de la Janasse wine

For this fairytale winery, we travel to the south of France via the Route du Soleil. We're all familiar with the famous highway. Cities like Metz, Nancy, Dijon, and Lyon are, of course, familiar with the countless road signs that everyone speeds past on their way to the sun. We continue along the famous A7 to the semi-famous city of Orange. Here, we deviate from the highway and enter perhaps the most beautiful wine region in France: the Cotes du Rhone. Home to many wineries. The most beautiful, in our opinion, is undoubtedly Domaine de La Janasse.

The Cotes du Rhone wines from Domaine de la Janasse

Domaine de la Janasse was born through a rare combination of chance and clear vision. It all began in 1967. Aime Sabon took over the vineyards from his father. His father had been a winegrower for years, but he always took the grapes to a cooperative. Aimé Sabon wanted to develop the wine himself. He named the estate De La Janasse, after the family farm in Courtezon, about an hour and a half's drive from Montpellier.

After acquiring the vineyards, Aimé immediately saw the area's potential. He continued to buy more vineyards, increasing the total acreage from 15 hectares to its current 90 hectares. Aimé has since received help from his son, Christophe Sabon, and now also from his granddaughter, Isabelle.

The vineyards of Domaine de la Janasse are dominated by the typical Côtes du Rhone varietals, particularly Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, and Clairette. However, what makes Domaine de la Janasse unique is that it also cultivates international varieties. For example, there's also room for the renowned Cabernet Sauvignon, from which the iconic Domaine de la Janasse Terre de Bussiere is made.
