Generous scents of dark berries, ripe cherry, and crushed plum lead the 2020 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape, layered with hints of dried thyme, licorice, and a touch of floral spice. The palate is medium to full in weight yet notably refined, with supple tannins giving shape to the rich fruit and a gentle peppery snap on the finish. This is a characterful, quietly powerful vintage that will reward both early enjoyment and patient cellaring.
Herb-crusted lamb chops; Duck breast with cherry reduction; Wild mushroom and thyme cassoulet

Domaine de la Janasse’s Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape is a rich, Grenache‑led expression from the gravelly, pebble‑strewn soils of the northern appellation that combines ripe red and black fruit, garrigue aromatics and warm spice with polished tannins; the estate typically blends Grenache with Syrah, Mourvèdre and small amounts of Cinsault and matures the wine primarily in large foudres and used oak for a concentrated yet sensual, ageworthy style.
