商品説明

熟成を経ることによってまるでブルゴーニュの特級クラスに通ずるような肉・革系のニュアンス、そして品格が表れてくるのもジャナスが誇る上質なグルナッシュの魅力!

代々、ブドウ農家であったエメ・サボン氏が、1973年より元詰めを始め、「ドメーヌ・ド・ラ・ジャナス」を設立しました。1991年以降、ブドウ栽培と醸造学の学士を持つ息子のクリストフ氏とその妻がドメーヌの管理を引き継ぎ、膨大なエネルギーと情熱を注ぎ込むことによって、品質は目覚ましく向上。今日ではシャトーヌフ・デュ・パプのトップ生産者として名を馳せています。

「シャトーヌフ・デュ・パプ ヴィエイユ・ヴィーニュ」は、カシス、ブラックカラント、ブルーベリー、甘草、土や鉱物、ミネラルなどの要素。胡椒やジビエ、トリュフ、ガリーグ(地中海沿岸地方の潅木)やローリエなどのニュアンスもある。クルミの入ったフルーツ菓子、ショコラ、ソースで煮込んだ力強い料理特にカモやイノシシ、鹿、ウサギなどと特に好相性。プラムとショコラで溢れ、豊かでベルベットな質感。

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes derives from parcels planted on classic clay and galets roules soils. It's 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and 5% other varieties. Tight, intense, even clenched, it's in need of several years' cellaring before it becomes truly enjoyable to drink. For now, those gorgeous black cherries are restrained behind a firm wall of tannins. Full-bodied and rich, this is ripe, it just requires patience.

Although I showed up considerably late for my appointment with the brother-sister team of Christophe and Isabelle Sabon, Christophe wore his customary, irrepressible smile. The French soccer team was ahead in their World Cup match, and he was showing off the domaine's stellar 2016s. "It's my father's 50th harvest," he said. "And he thinks it's the best. It's incredible because you have power, finesse and acidity." Interestingly, the Sabons are planting Grenache Gris and Clairette Rose for possible inclusion in red wines, which Christophe said he hopes will add some freshness to Grenache. Worth noting is that the family also owns Clos St Antonin (tasted on this visit but written up under its own heading). Published: Aug 31, 2019

Saturated ruby. Displays intensely perfumed, spice-accented black and blue fruit, floral oil and candied licorice qualities on the nose. Offers powerful cherry liqueur, black raspberry, fruitcake and exotic spice flavors that tighten up through the back half. There's surprising energy here given the wine's volume. Velvety tannins frame a strikingly long, spicy finish that strongly echoes the cherry and floral notes. - By Josh Raynolds on August 2021

Isabelle and Christophe Sabon reliably produce some of the most powerful, expressive Chateauneuf-du-Papes in any given vintage. The 2018s and 2017s are not going to let their fans down. The domaine was established by Helene and Aime Sabon in 1973 and initially comprised 15 hectares of vines. It has grown to over 90 hectares today, spread across Chateauneuf-du-Pape as well as Cotes-du-Rhone and IGP Principaute d’Orange. While Sabons’ wines are undoubtedly on the flashy, fruit-driven side when young, they have shown a fine ability to age effortlessly. All that showiness might fool some people into believing that they should be enjoyed over the short to mid-term. Based on my experience with the wines going back to the late 1980s, they can be cellared for quite some time.

There’s less grenache here in 2017 (60%); the balance is made up of syrah and mourvedre, all from 80 to 100 years of age. The richness and depth here is really impressive, as is the freshness of ripe berries and a dark and quite dense, plum and black-cherry burst at the finish. The palate has a very supple, succulent and juicy feel. Some firmness to the tannins and good drive with a silky edge. Try from 2024.
