Made in miniscule quantities and exclusively in the very best vintages (2019 is only the third year produced, after 2007 and 2016), the prodigious Janasse XXL Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a totally unforgettable wine. Seamlessly sumptuous, silky-textured, massively full-bodied yet caressingly gentle, this is one of the most remarkable Châteauneuf-du-Papes in existence. Ready to drink immediately, or enjoy at your leisure over the next 10+ years. Made from around 65% Grenache and 35% other permitted grape varieties.

Press Review
100/100 - Lastly, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape XXL is pure magic and one of the most singular wines out there. Based on 65% Grenache and the rest Syrah and other varieties, it was only 30% destemmed and brought up all in demi-muids. Where previous vintages of this beauty were almost over the top, the 2019 shows a more elegant, pure, balanced profile as well as incredible aromatics of ripe red and black fruits, herbes de Provence, ground pepper, violets, and other notes of Southern Rhône-like goodness. Incredibly powerful and opulent, it somehow manages to stay perfectly balanced, has a wonderful sense of freshness, silky yet substantial tannins, and an awesome finish. Unfortunately, there are just over 300 cases produced, so it won't be easy to find, but this ranks with the all-time greats. It deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and should evolve for 30 years if well-stored. Drink 2026-2057
