Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is made from 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvdre, 10% Syrah, 5% ers. In contrast to Chaupin, which is made from old-vine Grenache on sandy soils, the cuve Vieilles Vignes is from old vines of Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah along with smaller percentages of other permitted varieties that are grown in these old vineyards. The wine is sourced from 4 terroirs: pebbly clay, sand, gravelly red clay and sandy limestone. Vieilles Vignes is always the most powerful and concentrated Chteauneuf-du-Pape cuve made at Domaine de la Janasse. Review: The 2020 Chteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes also saw some stems (the estate started keeping some stems with the 2016 vintage) and was 75% destemmed, with the blend being 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvdre, and the rest Syrah, Cinsault, and Terret Noir. As usual, it's a more powerful, black-fruited wine comparted to the Cuve Chaupin and has lots of crme de cassis, liquid violet, crushed stone, woodsmoke, and peppery herbs. It displays the vintage's purity and freshness yet brings the concentration as well as the structure. I'll be shocked if it's not in the handful of top wines in the vintage. 96-
