Domaine de la Janasse’s 2012 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is a remarkable expression of the region, earning a stellar 96 points for its depth and complexity. This magnum showcases a rich tapestry of dark berries, plum, and hints of garrigue, layered with notes of leather and spice that evolve beautifully in the glass. The old vines contribute to its concentration and elegance, offering a velvety mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish. Perfect for a special celebration or a cozy dinner featuring roasted lamb, this wine not only impresses but also represents a smart buy for the quality, delivering a memorable experience that far exceeds its price point.
