Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-pape 2021 750ml
DescriptionDomaine de la Janasse consistently produces some of Ch?teauneuf's most refined and age-worthy wines, and this 2021 showcases their ability to craft elegant expressions even from this powerful appellation. The cooler vintage has brought out a different side of their terroir, emphasizing freshness and aromatic complexity.
The wine opens with pure, focused aromas of red berries and cherries, accompanied by notes of violets, white pepper, and fresh thyme. As it develops, hints of black olive, leather, and that distinctive Janasse minerality emerge. The palate delivers remarkable precision; fine-grained tannins support bright fruit flavors, while vibrant acidity creates a wine of real energy. The finish extends with red fruits, herbs, and mineral notes.
The Sabon family's meticulous approach shines through in this vintage - careful selection and gentle handling have produced a wine of exceptional clarity and expression. This 2021 offers a more immediately approachable style than their powerhouse vintages, while maintaining the quality and complexity that makes Janasse a benchmark producer. Perfect for those seeking Ch?teauneuf with finesse rather than force.
