Description
The 2019 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape "XXL" is an exceptional wine from the southern Rhône Valley, produced by the renowned Domaine de la Janasse. This cuvée is only produced in exceptional years; 2019 is only the third time, after 2007 and 2016, that this wine has been released. This wine is composed of 65% Grenache, supplemented with Syrah and other grape varieties. Only 30% of the grapes are destemmed, and the aging takes place entirely in demi-muids (600-liter barrels). The 2019 "XXL" offers an elegant and pure profile with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, herbes de Provence, ground pepper and violets. Despite its power and opulence, the wine retains a perfect balance, with a fresh taste, silky but firm tannins and an impressive finish. Only around 300 cases of this vintage were produced, making it a very rare wine. It is recommended to age the wine for 4 to 5 years; with proper storage it can continue to evolve for up to 30 years.
Wine critic Jeb Dunnuck gave the 2019 “XXL” a perfect score of 100 points, calling it “pure magic” and “one of the most unique wines out there.”

Wijnhuis
Domaine de la Janasse dates from 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 ha of vineyard. The total area now exists of 55 ha and is currently run by son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. He is a very successful winemaker! Christophe cultivates more than 15 hectares of vineyards in total. The variety of different grapes is very large, including Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, Carignan, Bourboulenc, Counoise. All wines are made classically and excel through the combination of power and finesse. The vineyards are located on a difficult surface of pebble, sand and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 90 years old. The yield is usually less than 30 hl / ha due to strict pruning and a rigorous vendange verte. Christophe also works almost exclusively organically. Janasse's big break came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 points Parker !! All their wines score excellent year after year. The quality of this domain is so great that even their "ordinary" Côtes-du-Rhône "is already highly regarded worldwide!
