WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige is a premium Rhone blend coming from old vines. This cuvée comes from four parcels located on different terroirs that combine to produce a diverse array of flavors use in the blend to build complexity.
Grapes are manually harvested and sorted in the vineyard.
On arrival at the winery, the majority of the grapes are destemmed and fermented with extended skin contact to create greater depth and intensity.
Wines are aged in large casks to round out the muscular tannins and harmonise the flavors before the wine is bottled.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige explodes on the nose with a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by notes of spices, such as black pepper and cloves.There is also a subtle hint of garrigue, which adds a touch of Mediterranean charm to the aroma.
The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a harmonious balance between fruit, tannins, and acidity. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, with additional nuances of liquorice and dark chocolate. The wine has a very long and persistent finish, perfuming the palate and leaving a lasting impression.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de la Janasse
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
