Domaine de la Janasse 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes: A Timeless Masterpiece

Crafted by the esteemed Domaine de la Janasse, this 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is a testament to the artistry of Rhône Valley winemaking. Sourced from ancient vines dating back to 1920, this wine embodies the essence of old-vine Grenache (65%), Mourvèdre (20%), and Syrah (15%), delivering a profound and complex tasting experience.

Aromas & Flavors:
On the nose, expect an intoxicating blend of black cherries, blackberries, and garrigue (wild herbs), with subtle hints of peppercorn, anise, and scorched earth. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing ripe dark fruit, cured meats, and a velvety tannin structure that promises longevity. The finish is long, with a lingering echo of bittersweet Valrhona chocolate and warm earth notes.
