Domaine de La Janasse Vieilles Vignes 2010
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Vieilles Vignes - Aimé Sabon
100/100 Parker: perfect vintage
When to drink this wine: 2019 - 2049
‘The 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which has reached 16% natural alcohol, has an inky, purple colour. It's slightly tighter and more restrained than the 2010 Chaupin, but has huge volume and incredible glycerin, richness and fat. A huge bouquet of pure blackberries and cassis intermixed with charcoal, incense, truffles and spring flowers is followed by a prodigious, full-bodied wine capable of evolving for 20+ years. I hope that lovers of Châteauneuf du Pape will be able to find this extraordinary wine!’ Parker
- Location: This cuvée comes from four plots located on different soils that perfectly match when assembled. Firstly a southern pebbly soil that brings body and power. Secondly a Chaupin-like soil for freshness and acidity. A third red clay pebbly soil in the north of the appellation that brings structure and body. And finally a sandy-limestone soil for smoothness.
- Acreage: 6 ha.
- Grapes: 64% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 6% divers.
- Planting: 40% 1920, 40% 1965, 10% 1976, 10% 1993.
- Vineyard: The vines are grown without pesticides or insecticides and manure is natural. The land is worked without herbicide to maintain ventilation and flexibility to the soil.
- Yield: 28 hl/ha.
- Vinification: Stems removal 80%. Maceration: 28 days with manual pressing once a day.
- Ageing process: 75% into vat and 25% in «demi-muids» (600 l. barrels).
- Production: 15.000 bottles per year.
- Tasting: The flagship wine of the estate, still the highest in international rankings. The color is dark with purple reflections. The nose, with discreet aromas of crushed black fruits and garrigue, is just waiting to melt into a noble and fresh material. Keep it at least ten years before serving on a jugged hare Royale.
