DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE AOC CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE WHITE 2022 14° 75 CL

Description

The prestige cuvée is a blend of 70% Roussanne, 15% Grenache, and 15% Clairette Blanche grapes from the sandy-clay soils of La Janasse and La Crau. The Grenache and Clairette are aged for 7 months in tanks with lees stirring, while the Roussanne is aged in 80% new oak barrels with regular lees stirring.

The initial aromas evoke toasted brioche mingled with white peach and honeydew melon. The evolution is marked by a hint of acacia and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is fuller and more vinous than the "classic" white cuvée, with a simply endless finish. With barely 1,000 bottles produced each year, there won't be enough for everyone!
