Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee XXL 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Rhone 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Joe Czerwinski: Only the second vintage of this cuv嶪 ever to beproduced (the other is 2007), the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape XXL isabout 75% Grenache, with the rest a mix of permitted varieties. Itincorporates "a lot" of whole clusters and matured in demi-muid. Itwas bottled in May but will likely only be released in November,says Christophe Sabon. Classy aromas of crushed stone, pencilshavings and baking spices start it off on a terrific note, whileripe raspberries and stone fruit unfold on the full-bodied palate.Contrary to the implications of its name, this wine boastsincredible finesse, elegance and length and is in fact moreimpressive for those qualities than its overall size, power andrichness. It will certainly open a few eyes.
