La Janasse Xxl Châteauneuf-Du-Pape, 2023

La Janasse XXL Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023 is a generous, powerful Rhône red from one of the appellation’s most respected estates. Crafted to showcase the depth and richness that have made Châteauneuf-du-Pape famous, it combines ripe fruit, spice and structure in a style that is both expressive and characterful.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep, concentrated colour with plenty of intensity. The nose typically opens with ripe dark berries, black cherry, dried herbs, pepper and subtle garrigue, with hints of licorice and warm spice adding complexity. On the palate, this is likely to be full-bodied and layered, with a ripe fruit core, smooth texture and a firm but polished frame. The wine should offer ample richness and length, with the balance to develop beautifully over time. It is a vintage with good aging potential, especially for collectors who enjoy the evolution of structured Rhône reds.

Production
Produced in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône, the wine reflects the region’s sun-drenched climate, stony soils and classic Mediterranean influence. Janasse is known for working with carefully selected vineyard parcels and harvesting at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness alongside concentration. Vinification is typically aimed at capturing both power and balance, with careful fermentation and aging designed to soften the tannins while preserving the wine’s aromatic depth and regional identity.

Food & Serving

Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully.
