"A great classic
Vin de Pays Terre de Bussière, a blend of Merlot (55%), Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet grapes from the "Bussière" vineyard, is astonishing in its power and character. The barrel ageing of the Merlot adds even more breed. Discover it for yourself!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
On the finest terroirs in Courthézon, the Domaine de la Janasse, the pride of the Sabon family, has established itself as one of the appellation's benchmarks for over 40 years. Christophe Sabon produces Côtes-du-Rhône wines of the highest level, with rare depth. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are expressed through different cuvées: chaupin, from a cold terroir with a very Burgundian approach, or the cuvée vieilles-vignes, sunnier and racier. Finally, the whites, in the shadow of the reds, are just as recommendable. The entire range is beyond reproach, and the great vintages are among the appellation's benchmarks.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2024) Awarded 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 IGP wines. Christophe Sabon and his sister Isabelle, children of Aimé Sabon, who founded the estate in 1973, manage a 90-hectare vineyard scattered over many parcels. The estate was completed in 2015 with the purchase of Clos Saint-Antonin and its 15 ha of vines in the Jonquières commune.

Domain rated (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
This great estate, which has belonged to the Sabon family for generations, is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's elite. Most of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vines are located in the commune of Courthézon, with the parcels and soils varying from one to the next, which is reflected in the various cuvées. The domaine also produces some splendid Côtes-du-Rhône cuvées (important in terms of volume), from vines adjacent to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. With often very high maturities, the wines are opulent in style, sometimes a little too warm in sunny vintages. On the other hand, the tannins and textures are always of great finesse. In recent vintages, the wines have become less rich and slightly more digestible.

very disappointed by this vintage, I ordered it with my eyes closed because I'm a real fan of this wine, for me unbeatable quality/price. But this vintage is really not in the same league. very, very disappointed.

One of this year's great discoveries for me. Enthusiasm born at 4 stars after the last delivery, this time in 2018, vintage that I find a little less convincing with, excuse the little, an increase from 9.90 to 10.90 € on this occasion. Fortunately, there are many excellent southern reds wisely sold for less than €10, for example, again at 1jour1vinle cairane du dom. St Andéol, another fine discovery in warm southern reds.

Very pleasant, pronounced fruitiness, to be served tempered in large glasses.

A 2018 IGP just as charming, silky and tannic as the 2017, with chocolate and slightly peppery flavors. Perceptible residual sugars. Top at around 10€ with a duck confit shepherd's pie.
