Description

Sourced from the domaine’s oldest parcels, mainly located in the renowned lieux-dits La Crau and La Janasse. These vineyards feature sandy, limestone-rich and galet-covered soils that contribute concentration, ripeness and mineral tension.

The fruit undergoes a rigorous double selection to ensure optimal ripeness and perfect sanitary conditions. Vinification is tailored to each parcel and includes partial use of whole clusters, a practice reintroduced by Janasse in 2016 to enhance freshness and complexity. Ageing takes place in large foudres for Grenache and in barrels for the other varieties, achieving balance and integration.

The 2020 offers notes of dark fruit, graphite, garrigue, crushed stone and a subtle smoky nuance. The palate is full and concentrated, supported by polished tannins and a long, precise finish. One of the standout wines of the vintage.

UNCORK THE EXTRAORDINARY

“Strong ruby colour, purple reflections, broad brightening on the rim. Delicate hints of candied violets, black wild berries, some lavender, a touch of dried herbs and lime zest. Taut, finely-meshed, with depth. Ripe cherries, exquisite fruit, ripe, supporting tannins, fresh and mineral. Has great length; a perfect marriage of the different soils and varieties, certain ageing potential.”

“Dark in color, the wine exudes a hint of jam along with black cherries, flowers and spicy plums in the nose. On the palate, the wine is lush, polished, balanced and fresh merging its naturally powerful, full-bodied style with elegance and polish. Clearly, this is one of the wines of the vintage.”

Powerful, weighty, dark-fruit character. Intensity on the palate combined with powerful tannic structure and spice... All the components are there... Love the vibrant character here.
