The entry-level Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge from Domaine de la Janasse is sourced from a wide variety of terroirs, totaling about 10 hectares, located in the northern part of the appellation and supplemented with a small portion of fruit from Le Crau. A great example of a ripe, luscious and opulent Châteauneuf that still shows great pedigree and freshness. Caressing yet upright tannins support juicy cherry, licorice and wild herb flavors, all powered by a graphite beam. Shows impressive fruit purity nicely unadorned by oak. There's a slight chalky feel to the finish, which spills out, with good length. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. The normal blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the rest a mix of varieties, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is deeper ruby-hued and offers a killer perfume of red and black fruits, flowery incense, Provençal garrigue, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with a terrific sense of elegance and ripe tannins, it's very much in the pure, elegant, seamless style of the vintage and has so much to love. Drink bottles over the coming 10-12 years. Full nose of red plums and candied oranges with notes of cinnamon and allspice. Rich, full-bodied palate with plenty of powdery tannins that gently build through the long, moderately firm finish.
