Wine Expert Note:

Pouring a deep, almost inky garnet, the Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape XXL immediately captivates with its intense aromatics of blackberries, kirsch, and dark plums. Notes of garrigue, roasted herbs, and dark chocolate add layers to its rich aromatic profile. The palate is a tour de force, unveiling a lush tapestry of dark fruits, supported by undertones of licorice, leather, and crushed stones. Despite its opulence, the wine maintains a remarkable balance, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that sustains its long, evolving finish. A wine that, true to its name, offers an expansive, larger-than-life experience of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
