Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2020 layers ripe dark cherry and blackberry with hints of cassis, licorice and subtle spice, all wrapped in a supple, velvety texture. Full-bodied yet surprisingly light on its feet, it shows impressive concentration without heaviness, carried by fresh acidity and fine, long-grained tannins on an extended finish. This vintage feels classic and already approachable, with the structure to develop further depth in bottle.
Roast lamb with Provençal herbs; duck breast with cherry glaze; braised beef short ribs

Domaine de la Janasse’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is the estate’s most powerful and concentrated red, a Grenache‑led blend from very old vines rooted in four classic terroirs of pebbly clay, sand, gravelly red clay and sandy limestone. It typically marries voluptuous black cherry and blackberry fruit with notes of licorice, Provençal herbs and dark spice, delivering a richly textured yet surprisingly fresh, long-finishing expression of southern Rhône old-vine grandeur.
