De La Janasse, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes, 2003
🏰 The 2003 De La Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a 【powerful and concentrated red wine from a renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer, crafted from old vines for exceptional depth and complexity】. The 2003 vintage in the Southern Rhône was notably hot, producing rich, full-bodied wines. Expect this wine to showcase intense aromas of ripe dark berries, black cherry, garrigue, licorice, and a hint of kirsch, with a full-bodied palate, velvety tannins, and a long, spicy finish. The old vines contribute to its remarkable concentration and structure, making it a wine with significant aging potential.
🍴 This robust red wine pairs magnificently with hearty dishes such as roasted lamb with rosemary, beef stew, wild boar ragu, or strong, aged cheeses. For an Asian pairing, consider rich Cantonese braised beef brisket or spicy Szechuan dishes.
🥂 Ideal for a grand dinner, a special occasion with rich food, or for collectors seeking a mature and expressive Southern Rhône gem.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Janasse is a fairly new property in the Southern Rhone Valley, France. The actual estate is situated in the area of Courthezon. Domaine de la Janasse is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer owned and operated by the Sabon family. It was founded in 1967 by Aimé Sabon. Domaine de la Janasse began with 15 hectares (37 acres) of estate vineyards and now has more than 90 hectares (220 acres), with 15 hectares (37 acres) in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Janasse grows all 13 permissible grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, from the standard Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah to lesser known components like Counoise, Vaccarèse, and Bourboulenc. Many of the white Châteauneuf-du-Pape varieties, along with Syrah, are planted in the slightly cooler vineyards to the north in east-exposed vineyards.
