2010 Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape - “The Prodigious 2010 … Find some of this amazing wine”
A perfect wine, the 2010 Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape
- Robert M. Parker, Jr.
I have the privilege of offering a perfect CdP from outstanding vintage 2010! For those who already know about CdP or the serious collector who is adventurous to move into a new terroir, Domaine Janasse is a great way to start! If Mr. Parker refers to Janasse as one of the great winemaking estates in the WORLD ...! 100 Point amazing wine!
Vintage 2010 Domaine de la Janasse:
Robert Parker writes, "Year in and year out, the wines, both reds and whites, are among the finest one will find ... anywhere! Their prodigious 2010s compete with their remarkable array of 2007s and 2009s. Over the last 12-15 years, the quality of the wines has gone from strength to strength, with brilliant wines being produced in all price categories. Year-in and year-out, their Chateauneuf du Papes are among the top three or four wines of the vintage. Tasting two great vintages (2009 and 2010) from the Sabons was one of the most thrilling tastings I have had this year."
All above quotes from Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate: 2010 Domaine de la Janasse • Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes
On a Personal Note:
I had the privilege to attend the Fete de la Veraison In Chateauneuf-du-Pape, last year in 2022. What an amazing experience! There was so much positive energy in the room, partially because all were finally free to gather! Spirits were high for all and generous pours from maybe 150 Winemakers! I remember it surprisingly snowing that day and my friends and I had to wear every garment we had packed in our carry-ons!
Experience the Prodigious 2010 Janasse! Follow the advise of Robert Parker and "find some of this amazing wine!"
Critical Acclaim:
"The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which achieved 16% natural alcohol, possesses an inky/purple color. It is slightly tighter and more restrained than the 2010 Chaupin, but it has enormous volume as well as incredible glycerin, richness and fat. A huge bouquet of pure blackberry and black currant fruit intermixed with charcoal, incense, truffles and spring flowers is followed by a prodigious, full-bodied wine that is capable of 20+ years of evolution. I hope Chateauneuf du Pape enthusiasts can find some of this amazing wine!" RP Oct 2012
