Product Description:

"The story of Domaine de la Janasse began in 1967. That year, Aimé Sabon returned from his military service. He took over the vineyards of his father, who supplied grapes to a cooperative cellar, and his father-in-law, who sold wine to négociants. By 1973, Aimé had built his own cellar. This is how Domaine de la Janasse was born, named after the family farm located in Courthézon, at a place called “La Janasse.” Aimé was ambitious. Knowing he possessed a fabulous terroir, he continuously expanded the estate by acquiring new parcels. From 15 hectares back then, La Janasse now spans over 90 hectares. The story of the appellation Nestled in the heart of the prestigious Southern Rhône Valley, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard captivates wine enthusiasts worldwide with the richness and complexity of its wines. Driven by an exceptional heritage and terroir, this iconic appellation produces powerful yet elegant reds, as well as rare and expressive whites. Furthermore, the uniqueness of Châteauneuf-du-Pape lies in its permitted grape varieties—the most extensive of any French appellation, featuring thirteen main varieties (and eighteen when counting their different expressions). It is precisely this diversity that allows winemakers to orchestrate blends of fascinating complexity. Grenache Noir often reigns supreme here, sublimated by Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and many others. At La Janasse Rooted in this exceptional heritage, the story of Domaine de la Janasse has been forged over decades, becoming a true benchmark within the appellation. Since its creation in 1973, the estate has succeeded in preserving the soul of these terroirs while asserting a unique identity of its own. Today, this quest for excellence is expressed through a mosaic of historic plots. It is this specific vineyard expertise that allows us to isolate distinct expressions—from the finesse of the Chaupin sands to the centennial power of our Vieilles Vignes. Thus, by perpetuating this family savoir-faire, we are dedicated to producing wines that are not merely the reflection of a prestigious name, but the authentic signature of an exceptional terroir. --------------- CUVEE CHAUPIN---------------- WINE-MAKING PROCESS Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard. 80% destemming then maceration for 26 days with daily manual pressing.
