2019 Côtes du Rhône Villages, Terre d’Argile, Domaine de la Janasse
£25.00
“The 2019 Côtes du Rhône Villages Terre d’Argile brings more sweet fruit than the 2020 yet has similar dark, peppery fruits as well as Provençal garrigue-like aromas and flavors. It’s a full-bodied, ripe, bombastic beauty that shines in the vintage. It certainly put a smile on my face, and Southern Rhône lovers out there will dig this.”
93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“Black cherries, licorice and cocoa mark the nose of the 2019 Cotes du Rhone Villages Terre d’Argile. Full-bodied, rich and dense, with almost fudge-like flavors and intensity, this super effort finishes long, velvety and mouthwatering. It should drink well for at least a decade. Best after 2023.”

Product Description
In 1967, Aimé Sabon came back from his military service. He took over his father’s vines, who used to take his grapes to the wine cooperative. In 1973, Aimé built his own cellar. Domaine de la Janasse was born and named after the family farm that was in Courthézon, in the locality of “La Janasse”. Aimé was ambitious. He knew he had fabulous soil and he wanted to expand the estate by acquiring new plots. From 15 hectares at the very beginning, La Janasse has now reached more than 90 hectares.
Between tapenade and blackcurrant, the cuvée Terre d’Argile offers a concentrate of aromas. Dense and fleshy, the mouth reveals deep and smooth notes of ripe fruit, and a lingering finish. An ideal companion to grilled lamb chops.
