2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages, Terre d'Argile, Domaine de la Janasse
Past peakAll goneJoe Czerwinski 92/100
Last night saw our 2016 Rhône en primeur tasting, where we and 31 of our growers showcased almost 100 wines from the superlative 2016 vintage. A great success, the wines showed all the exemplary characteristics of this fantastic vintage. The Cote Rotie, Cornas, Hermitage & St Joseph wines from the North had delicacy, vibrancy - a classical but ripe framework. Very fine wines which will age well in a contrasting style to the solaire vintages of 2007 or 2009. The wines of the South: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras etc had that great presence of wines from a top level, stellar vintage.
