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. The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape XXL is based on 65% Grenache, complemented by Syrah and other varieties. Expect notes of ripe red and black fruits, fresh herbs, ground pepper and violets.

After the inaugural 2007 vintage and the follow-up 2016, 2019 is only the third year when Domaine de la Janasse bottled the Châteauneuf-du-Pape XXL. It is predominately made from old-vines Grenache along with small amounts of Mourvèdre and other permitted varieties. While the Grenache has aged for two years in foudre, the Mourvèdre was briefly aged in French oak barriques with a small proportion of new oak. Medium ruby-colored, it wafts from the glass with pungent aromas of jammy red and black fruits, licorice, garrigue, cured meat, cloves and a pinch of bourbon vanilla. Full-bodied, massively concentrated and muscular, it wears its enormous power with style, like a bodybuilder in a taylor-made suit. Only 3,000 bottles produced.Nicolas Greinacher1st June 2023
