94 / 100"A classic, solid, well made and technically precise Châteauneuf. It’s complete, with ample ripe tannins, a firm, dense base of concentrated black fruits leading to a long finish. The wine is introspective and painfully young, and will need time to harmonise. But it has the freshness, balance and power required for long ageing. Likely to be good value."

"A blend of mostly Grenache, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape was brought up mostly in foudre with a small portion in barrels. Semi-opaque ruby-hued, with lots of floral, spicy, peppery, Provençal aromas and flavors, it's medium to full-bodied, has a ripe, sexy, yet weightless mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great finish. It's a gorgeous, classic Châteauneuf Du Pape that will drink well right out of the gate yet still evolve for two decades."

Tasting Notes
Domaine De La Janasse is located in the region Côtes-Du-Rhône within the Château-Neuf-du-Pape appellation. In 1973 Aimé Sabon took over the winery from his father, who had been selling his grapes to a big corporation since 1912.
Blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault. On the nose ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accented by hints of dried herbs, licorice, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, a full-bodied red wine unfolds layers of complexity, revealing notes of dark chocolate and tobacco, supported by well-integrated tannins and a backbone of vibrant acidity.
