Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape 2004 - Rhone, France

Bin No. JANASTRA04

Price: £26.00

The Cuvée Tradition from Domaine de la Janasse is a blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The yields for these grapes are tiny and the old vines give a great intensity of fruit, with the flavours enhanced by the use of oak foudres and oak barriques.
Detailed Vinification notes:
Maceration lasts between 15 and 18 days with a manual pumping over every 24hrs. Ageing is in large oak barrels (80%) and in 1/3 new barriques (20%). Improvements here in recent years have been mostly in viticultural practice: Sabon does more work in the vines than ever before, including routine green-harvesting and lots of leaf pulling, "especially in humid years, in order to get riper grapes." Green-harvesting in 9 of his 13 hectares of Chateauneuf du Pape vines keeps yields to just 30 hectoliters per hectare. Sabon vinifies and ages as many as 60 different parcels, putting the wines in wood early for the malolactic fermentation, then aging them in a combination of foudres and barriques, some new. The wines are assembled only in the weeks leading up to the bottling.

The winery is a partnership between John Hancock, Robert and Robyn Wilson (owners of London's Bleeding Heart and The Don restaurants) and Aucklanders Trevor and Hanne Janes; three founding families hence the name "Trinity Hill".
