Wine Spectator, September 2007

Much denser than the normal cuvAce with pain d'Acpice date fig mint and sweet tobacco notes. The long finish is very plush with a bacony note. Still has some grip to shed. A beauty.--1998 ChA¢teauneuf-du-Pape retrospective.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2015

One of the wines that caused me to fall in love with Chateauneuf du Pape on release, the Sabon’s 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin is still showing beautifully today. Currants, licorice, fruit cake and truffle all...

Domaine de la Janasse, in the Southern Rhone, was founded in 1967 by Aime Sabon. Having returned from military service, he took over management of the family vineyards and formed an estate label, named after the family farm in the locality of “La Janasse”. A cellar was built in 1973 and new plots were acquired, growing the total holdings from 15 hectares to more than 90 today.

In 1991, after earning diplomas in viticulture, oenology and marketing, Aime’s son Christophe Sabon was given the keys to the cellar. His sister Isabelle joined the team in 2001.

La Janasse grows all 13 permissible grapes in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation to give complexity and depth to their different wines. They produce 3 red and 2 white Chateauneuf du Pape wines, red, white and rose Cotes-du-Rhone, and a number of IGP wines.
