Domaine de la Janasse Réserve Côtes du Rhône 2022

The Côtes-du-Rhône Reserve is more serious effort than the regular Côtes-du-Rhône bottling that showcases the estate’s ability to marry richness with finesse. Moderately tannic and endowed with a beautiful structure, this Côtes-du-Rhône develops greedy notes of fresh fruit (crushed strawberry, blackberry) on their crunchiness, supported by a hint of licorice.

Domaine la Janasse was one of the first properties represented by European Cellars, and for many years we sold their dependable and quaffable bistro-styled Côtes-du-Rhône. A few years ago, while tasting in their cellar, we sampled a portion of this cuvée out of foudre, and the Côtes-du-Rhône Reserve was born. It’s a more serious effort than the regular Côtes-du-Rhône bottling that showcases the estate’s ability to marry richness with finesse.
