Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf Du Pape (750ml)

The reds from Janasse are frequently considered to be among the best in the region whether it is their pleasingly complex Côtes-du-Rhone and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages or their three bottlings of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Not surprisingly, the aptly named Tradition is the most reserved of their Châteauneufs while Chaupin and Vieilles Vignes are a study in contrasts, between the purity of Grenache from sandy soil clearly evident in the former, to the intensity and power of the later – an indication of the age of the vines, the range of soils from which they are sourced and the density afforded by the addition of old-vine Syrah and Mourvedre to their centenary Grenache.
