The Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006 is a benchmark wine from this highly acclaimed Southern Rhône producer. The 2006 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape was generally very good, marked by a warm and dry growing season with well-timed rainfall, resulting in ripe and concentrated grapes. Janasse`s flagship Vieilles Vignes cuvée is predominantly made from Grenache (often 88-90%), with smaller amounts of Mourvèdre and Syrah. Expect massive aromatics of dark fruits (blackberry, blueberry), licorice, dusty earth, roasted herbs and spices. On the palate, it delivers an unctuous, full-bodied, and highly concentrated experience with ripe, sweet tannins, impressive purity and a lengthy finish, demonstrating exceptional power and balance for the vintage.

Vinous
Ruby-red. Fresh red berry and floral aromas are complicated by smoky minerals and baking spices. Blackberry and kirsch on the palate, framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with gentle sweetness and very good clarity, with the smoky note repeating.Josh Raynolds1st January 2009
