Domaine de la Janasse, 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape Tradition.

Grape Varieties: 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Murvedre.

Vinification Note: Maceration lasts between 15 and 18 days with a manual pumping over every 24 hrs. Ageing is in large oak barrels (80%) and in 1/3 new barriques (20%).

Tasting Note: Deep red-ruby. Fruit-driven aromas of cassis, redcurrant, smoke, spice and animal fur. Soft, lush and ripe, with enticing fruit and good balance. Easy going, generous and balanced for early drinking appeal.
