The 2015 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a stunning expression of this iconic Rhône region, earning a well-deserved 93 points. This wine showcases a rich tapestry of dark fruits, such as ripe blackberry and plum, intertwined with notes of garrigue and subtle spice that reflect the unique terroir of the area. On the palate, it’s both velvety and robust, offering a harmonious balance of fruit concentration and earthy undertones, with a lingering finish that invites another sip. Perfect for a cozy dinner featuring grilled lamb or a hearty ratatouille, this bottle not only impresses with its depth and complexity but also represents a smart buy for the quality, especially considering its original retail price.
