Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-Pape V.V. 2017

One of my favorite new additions to the shop

this is a wine dominated by its lush

Roussanne 10%

The palate has loads of minerality

The classic cuvée is 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache

The Pommard clone from the ranch produces a beautiful bouquet of rose petals and gingersnaps while the adjacent block of clone 115 provides the backbone and tannin profile

Lemon curd

An incredibly fresh

Aging: 12 months of aging in 228L neutral oak barrels

and bit of Riesling for freshness—fermented in stainless and aged large barrel with extended lees contact

A subtle and classy wine

Dominus 2018 maintains focus on the palate with aromas of sweet blue fruit
