Even the most casual drinker of Rhone wines has undoubtedly heard of Domaine de la Janasse. Many an argument could be made that they are the finest producer in Chateauneuf, and without question stand in the top 10. The estate has been run for the past decade or so by siblings Christophe and Isabelle Sabon, under their father Aime's watchful eye. As Aime prepares for Christophe's succession, he has partnered with Isabelle to form a new winery that she will inherit. Of course, being a tight-knit family, she has access to the Janasse vineyards, and her brother's winemaking expertise.
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
"Lastly, the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape is a huge success in the vintage, and while it shows the softer, more supple style of the vintage, it doesn't lack depth, density, or complexity. Black raspberries, spring flowers, lit gunpowder, and peppery garrigue all give way to a medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced 2020 that's already hard to resist. This cuvée always shines for its elegance, and the 2020 is no exception."
Wine Advocate: 92-95 Points
"Assembled from three parcels of vines, the all-Grenache 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up gorgeous aromas of garrigue and red raspberries. Full-bodied and rich, it's concentrated, long and complex, folding in hints of chocolate without ever seeming overripe or heavy."
