The vines for the Principauté d'Orange Viognier are planted on a base of gravel, sand and large boulders. The grapes are picked entirely by hand and selected very strictly, both during the picking and on the sorting tables and after a pneumatic pressing a temperature-controlled fermentation follows. After fermentation, the wine matures for 6 months "sur lie" in oak barrels (25% new wood). All wines are made classically and excel through the combination of strength and finesse. The Pays de la Principauté d'Orange IGP Viognier is a 100% Viognier. Beautiful straw yellow in the glass with the obvious Viognier tones in the nose with spring flowers, yellow fruit and freshness. In the mouth the wine is creamy, full bodied, fruity with a pleasant freshness in the aftertaste.

Domaine de la Janasse dates back to 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 ha of vineyard. The total area now consists of 55 hectares and is currently run by son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. The vineyards are located on a difficult surface of gravel, sand and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 80 years old. Yields are usually less than 30 hl/ha due to strict pruning and rigorous vendange verte.

Janasse's big break came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 points Parker!! Year after year, all their wines score excellently. The quality of this domaine is so great that even their "regular" Cotes-du-Rhone is already highly regarded worldwide! This is really a TOP domain!
