Domaine de la Janesse is a young family-run winery in the Côtes du Rhône. Founded in 1973, it has grown enormously since then: it began with 15 hectares of vineyards and now has approximately 90. The grapes for Domaine de La Janesse Côtes du Rhône Blanc come from several plots of sandy soil. A total of 5 hectares are cultivated without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides. The land is fertilized with naturally occurring fertilizers and is weed-free, which maintains soil aeration and prevents compaction.
This Cotes du Rhône Blanc is made using the traditional method. All the vineyards in the winery are harvested by hand to preserve the grape's integrity as much as possible. Once in the winery, the Domaine de La Janasse Côtes du Rhône Blanc grape is pressed in a pneumatic press, and the must from each plot is tanked separately. The must is then cleaned and vinified in barrels. Once the wine is finally made, it is aged on its lees for six months, also in barrels.
Domaine de La Janasse Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a well-integrated blend of white varietals that together create a harmonious, fresh, and fruity wine with a slight hint of lees. The wine is floral, fruity, and surprisingly refreshing! This fruity white wine pairs perfectly with any fish dish, quiche, white meat, or hard cheese.
