Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes Janasse Magnum 2019

By European standards Domaine Janasse is a relative newcomer having only been established in 1973 but in a short space of time has come to be recognised as one of the highest quality producers of modern style Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, the 2019 vintage was reviewed by Decanter as follows, `Lovely density of dark fruit, full and weighty on the palate. Powerful, long, concentrated and fresh. The alcohol is a little warming, but generally the impression is one of warmth, generosity and endlessly deep, dark fruit. One for the cellar. Fermented in concrete, matured for 12 months in foudre and demi-muid.`
