2015 Côtes du Rhône Villages, Terre d'Argile, Domaine de la Janasse

Far superior to the quality inferred from its appellation, this well-named cuvée is a firm staff favourite, indeed, a firm favourite of your correspondent; such is its superb quality/price ratio. The blend is between Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Mourvèdre, with the latter two adding a controlled rusticity to an otherwise very polished ensemble, thereby enhancing its capacity to fascinate and thrill the taster with a real sense of authenticity. Drink 2018-2022.

The brother and sister team of Christophe and Isabelle Sabon continue to work wonders at Janasse. They farm 80 hectares of vineyards spread over a number of wine appellations: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is all located in the north-east of the appellation in the commune of Courthézon, Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, but also Vin de Pays de la Principauté d'Orange and Vin de Table. Concrete tanks are used for the Grenache and oak for the Syrah and Mourvèdre; in other words, everything is fairly traditional. Isabelle Sabon compares the 2015 to 2005 and 2010. Its tannic profile sits somewhere in the middle, as, possibly, does its quality. For all that, they are three outstanding vintages.
