Domaine de La Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape XXL red 2023

The Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée XXL 2023 stands among the greatest wines of the vintage. Awarded an outstanding 99 points by Jeb Dunnuck, this exceptionally rare cuvée is produced only in vintages deemed worthy of the XXL name. Founded in 1967 and today led by Christophe and Isabelle Sabon, Domaine de la Janasse has established itself as one of the benchmark estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. While XXL was historically known as the estate’s biggest and richest wine, its style has evolved toward a remarkable combination of power and elegance. The 2023 perfectly embodies this philosophy, delivering exceptional depth and full-bodied richness while retaining purity, precision and a graceful mouthfeel. Dark berries, peppery garrigue, flowers, liquorice and Asian spices create a spectacular aromatic profile, supported by ripe, polished tannins and an outstanding finish. A rare collector’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape with the potential to evolve beautifully for two decades.
