Domaine de la Janasse, Côtes du Rhône 2024

Domaine de la Janasse Côtes du Rhône 2024 is an elegant, supple red from one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected estates. Its combination of structured freshness, ripe red-fruit character and a subtle liquorice finish makes it an especially versatile expression of the appellation. Domaine de la Janasse was founded in 1967 and has since grown from a modest 15-hectare family domaine into a celebrated producer with vineyards covering around 90 hectares.

Tasting Notes
Bright and inviting in appearance, this Côtes du Rhône displays a vivid red colour. The nose is led by fresh, ripe strawberries and other red-fruit aromas, giving the wine an appealingly youthful and fragrant character. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with fine structure and a pleasingly supple texture. Ripe red fruit carries through to the finish, where a subtle note of liquorice adds depth and complexity. It is enjoyable in its youth, while its structure should allow it to develop further over the next few years.

Production
Domaine de la Janasse’s vineyards are spread across more than 60 individual parcels, creating a mosaic of Rhône Valley terroirs and bringing complexity to the final blend. The grapes are crushed up to 80%, followed by a 9–15-day maceration on the skins to extract colour, flavour and structure. After fermentation, the wine is matured for 6–9 months in oak barrels, allowing its fruit, tannins and savoury nuances to integrate.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for grilled red meat, roast beef, lamb and game dishes, this wine also works well with hearty stews and rustic Mediterranean cuisine. Serve lightly cool at around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential when serving it young, though 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the aromas and soften the wine’s structure.

Producer
Aimé Sabon founded Domaine de la Janasse in 1967 after taking over the family vineyards in Courthézon, near Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rather than continuing to supply grapes to a cooperative, he established his own domaine and steadily expanded its holdings. His son Christophe joined him in 1991, followed by his daughter Isabelle ten years later. Thanks to its diverse parcels and expressive cuvées—including Chaupin, Les Garrigues, Terre d’Argile and Terre de Bussières—Domaine de la Janasse has become one of the Rhône Valley’s most distinguished estates.
