Lot #768. Domaine de La Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2011

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 96 WA.
"And a candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is always a rough blend of 85% Grenache and the balance Syrah, Mourvedre, Clairette and other permitted varieties, that has the Grenache aged all in foudre and the Syrah and Mourvedre aged in one-third new barrels (that’s less than 6% of the blend in new barrels). Exhibiting gorgeous black fruits, spice-box, toast, licorice and roasted meat-like qualities on the nose, it is full-bodied, concentrated and layered on the palate, with loads of texture, yet delivers no weight, heat, or ever puts a foot wrong. Shockingly good in the vintage, it should not be missed." Wine Advocate #209, Oct 2013
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $650
