Domaine de la Janasse is a renowned producer of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, with their Vieilles Vignes being a standout offering. This wine is made from a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah grapes, sourced from vines that are over 60 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being fermented in concrete tanks and aged in a combination of oak barrels and foudres for 12-18 months. The resulting wine is rich and full-bodied, with a depth of flavour that is characteristic of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. It has notes of dark fruit, spice, and leather on the nose, and a palate that is both powerful and elegant.
The estate is committed to sustainable farming practices, with the vineyards being farmed organically and the grapes being harvested by hand and sorted carefully. This commitment to minimal intervention ensures that the wines produced at Domaine de la Janasse are of the highest quality and truly reflect the unique terroir of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The Vieilles Vignes is a particularly impressive example of this style, and is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
