Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Deep, dark-toned fruit drives the 2021 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes, layered with dried herbs, licorice and a subtle floral lift. The palate is medium to full-bodied yet poised, with velvety, ripe tannins giving structure to the generous black cherry and plum flavors and carrying them through a long, warming finish. Freshness and fine texture make this a notably refined expression for the vintage, with plenty of depth to reward cellaring.

About Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes

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.
