Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2019 Domaine de la Janasse

The 2019 growing season in the southern Rhône was hot and dry, yields were low and fruit was small and thick-skinned. For Domaine de la Janasse's Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2019, this meant deep concentration without the overripeness that hot vintages sometimes bring. We rate 2019 as one of the strongest years for Janasse, and the producers agree, including it in their own list of top vintages alongside 2018, 2016 and 2010. Expect a powerful, structured Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will keep well for a long time
