Domaine De La Janasse 2021 Chateauneuf Du Pape

$ 7399

Winemaker Notes

The entry-level Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge from Domaine de la Janasse is sourced from a wide variety of terroirs, totaling about 10 hectares, located in the northern part of the appellation and supplemented with a small portion of fruit from Le Crau. About 65% Grenache in most vintages, the rest of the blend includes varying amounts of Syrah, Mourvedre, and a bit of Cinsault. Harvested by hand, the fruit is mostly destemmed (about 20% whole clusters are retained) with fermentation in oak and concrete vats. Macerations average between 21-28 days with daily, manual pigeage. The wine is then aged in foudre (80% – Grenache) and French oak barrels (20% – Syrah & Mourvedre), of which a third are new.

Critical Acclaim

92pts Wine Spectator
Tasty and ripe, with an open profile marked by sappy red cherry, anise and generous floral perfume. Meaty and fleshy on the vanilla-kissed palate, with crushed iron bringing balance, while dried rosemary, charred mesquite and herbal lift emerge. There's a lot to like about this alluring red, which is drinking beautifully now (and will age well, too). Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. 

James Suckling 92pts
An agile and crunchy Chateauneuf-du-Pape with plenty of raspberries, strawberries, flowers, peppercorns and hints of sandalwood. Medium body with sinewy tannins. Fresh and crunchy with lots of succulent fruit character and a racy finish.
