2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 'Tradition' Rouge, Domaine de la Janasse

Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 'Tradition' Rouge, Domaine de la Janasse
The blend is dominated by Grenache (80%) with Syrah and Mourvèdre in support. All are completely destemmed, yielding a powerful and yet wonderfully silky wine, hitherto quite reserved, but sure, given its concentration and elegance, to age magnificently over the medium term and probably longer.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Brother and sister team of Christophe and Isabelle Sabon continue to work wonders at Janasse, a property founded in 1973 and which farms 80 hectares of Côtes-du-Rhône and Châteauneuf –du-Pape, the latter of which is all located in the north-east of the appellation, in the commune of Courthézon to be precise. Concrete tanks are used for the Grenache and oak for the Syrah and Mourvèdre; in other words, everything is fairly traditional; it is the quality of the raw materials which is so impressive and for that reason alone, leaving aside the clear skill and vision of the Sabons, that BBR are delighted to take on these excellent 2010s for their first full listing.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 'Tradition' Rouge, Domaine de la Janasse
Lightly meaty nose. Very cool overall though there is masses of ripe fruit underneath. Rather interesting dustiness. Very chewy finish. Ambition and strong Châteauneuf character.
