“'A Côtes du Rhône rock star' (Jeb Dunnuck)”

“The 2023 Côtes du Rhône Village Terre d’Argile reveals aromas of ripe red and black fruits, Provençal garrigue, and spices. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, with a round, complex palate and exceptional length. It’s very drinkable now, but should age well for 5 to 7 years. ” (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

Located on Courthézon’s finest terroirs, the Domaine de la Janasse—the pride of the Sabon family—has stood out for over 40 years as one of the appellation’s leading producers. Christophe Sabon produces Côtes-du-Rhône wines of the highest caliber, with rare depth. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are expressed through various cuvées: Chaupin, from a cooler terroir with a distinctly Burgundian character, and the Vieilles-Vignes cuvée, which is sunnier and more refined. Finally, the whites—though often overshadowed by the reds—are just as highly recommended. The entire range is impeccable, and the top cuvées rank among the appellation’s finest.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A regular in the Guide, often highly ranked for its Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône, and IGP wines. A 90-hectare vineyard spread across multiple plots, managed by Christophe Sabon and his sister Isabelle, the children of Aimé Sabon, who founded the estate in 1973. The estate was expanded in 2015 with the purchase of Clos Saint-Antonin and its 15 hectares of vineyards in the town of Jonquières.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

This large estate, which has belonged to the Sabon family for generations, ranks among the elite of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards are primarily located in the commune of Courthézon, with a variety of plots and soil types reflected in the estate’s various cuvées. The estate also produces splendid (and high-volume) Côtes-du-Rhône wines from vineyards adjacent to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. With often very high levels of ripeness, the wines are opulent in style, sometimes a bit too warm in sunny vintages. On the other hand, the tannins and textures are always exceptionally refined. In recent vintages, the wines have been less focused on richness and have become slightly more approachable.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Spectator)

About the wine:

Bold notes of red currant, licorice, herbs, and soft wood blend beautifully, supported by juicy acidity and a graphite-like structure. Ripe, fine tannins extend the refined finish. Delicious. Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre. Enjoy now through 2029.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100

Rated winery (2023 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

Powerful aromas of black fruit, with notes of tar and raw meat, draw you into this powerful and full-bodied wine. It makes a bold statement, but it is a great wine from the southern Rhône. A slight warmth on the finish due to its 15.5% alcohol content, so it should not be served too warm. Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grown on clay soil. Ready to drink now or for aging.
