Jeb Dunnuck
Small crushed strawberries, garrigue, spices, full, fresh palate, uplifting finish. Here's a tasty, easy-to-digest red for all your social gatherings. Make no mistake, it's wine, and not just any wine. The vinification and ageing of this wine, with no added sulfites, results in a natural, lively and authentic wine. expressing all the richness of the Sabon terroir and family know-how.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Isabelle Sabon, sister of Christophe Sabon (La Janasse), bought the Saint-Antonin farm (15 hectares in Jonquière) in 2014. A blend of land opportunity and business strategy, Clos Saint-Antonin offers the possibility of a "second" wine at La Janasse. With just under two hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Janasse estate, this new label produced a very good cuvée in 2016, in a gourmand and precise style.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
A regular in the Guide, often featured prominently for its Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône and vins de pays. Christophe Sabon and his sister Isabelle, children of Aimé Sabon, who founded the estate in 1973, manage a 90-hectare vineyard scattered across numerous parcels. The estate was completed in 2015 with the purchase of Clos Saint-Antonin, and its 15 ha of vines in the commune of Jonquière.

About the domain :
This 15-hectare estate, comprising a walled vineyard and an old farmhouse in Jonquière, was acquired at the end of 2014 by the Sabon family, already owners of Domaine de la Janasse in Courthézon. A winery is due to be built soon.

A full-bodied wine, with a 1st sensation of red fruits, then a finish of black fruits. It's good and it's sulfur-free!
