Chateauneuf du Pape Janasse 2006

Domaine Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the southern Rhône Valley of France. Domaine Janasse is a well-regarded wine estate situated in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The estate was founded in 1973 by Aimé Sabon, and it is now run by his children, Christophe and Isabelle Sabon. Notes on the 2006 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. "A bigger, richer wine than the Chaupin (which is normal), the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes comes from the La Janasse and La Crau lieux-dits, and is 80% Grenache and the balance Syrah and Mourvèdre; the Grenache is raised in foudres and demi-muids, and the Syrah and Mourvèdre are raised in small barrels. Full-bodied, rich, decadent and unctuous on the palate, this beauty gives up fabulous notes of dark fruits, dusty soil, liquorice, roasted herbs and toasted spice." Wine Advocate, 2016
