Note di degustazione
A bigger, richer wine than the Chaupin (which is normal), the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes comes from the La Janasse and La Crau lieux-dits, and is 80% Grenache and the balance Syrah and Mourvèdre; the Grenache is raised in foudres and demi-muids, and the Syrah and Mourvèdre are raised in small barrels. Full-bodied, rich, decadent and unctuous on the palate, this beauty gives up fabulous notes of dark fruits, dusty soil, licorice, roasted herbs and toasted spice. It needs a short decant if drinking anytime soon, and will continue drinking nicely through 2026.

Inky purple. Extremely ripe, deep blackcurrant and boysenberry aromas perked up by an intensely spicy anise character. Fleshy dark fruit flavors are enlivened by zesty minerality, picking up dusty tannins with air but maintaining hugely appealing sweetness. Seems to expand on the long, sappy finish, echoing ripe dark berries and candied licorice. Really seductive stuff.
The 2006 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes possesses stunningly pure, clean aromatics of spiced dark berry compote, plum sauce and graphite intermixed with floral and licorice nuances. It's dark, rich and has beautiful clarity and precision. The palate is medium to full bodied with a rich, seamless texture, impressive balance and a long finish. While this doesn't have the sheer power of the previous vintages, it's smooth, lush and has plenty of upfront appeal. Drink this over the next 10 to 15 years.
