Cornas Jana, 2020

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

The Domaine’s top cuvee, Jana 2020 is a blend of vines from Chaillot, Combes and Le Cote fermented with 100% whole bunches. A two to three week cuvaison was followed by 14 months in second and third use demi-muids. A baritone expression of Cornas, the Jana exhibits brooding sultry hedgerow fruits with hints of cassis and espresso, liquorice and salt. Pine and mint emerge as the wine finds a opens up to reveal layers of savoury spice and minerals; a wine of rigour and depth with a long echoing finish.

critic reviews

97/100Josh Raynolds,Vinous

Dark purple. Highly perfumed, oak-spiced black and blue fruits, incense, vanilla and potpourri on the hugely perfumed nose, along with hints of licorice, smoked meat and mocha. Stains the palate with concentrated, spice-laced blueberry, cassis, cherry-vanilla and espresso flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Broad, polished tannins add shape to a strikingly long, smoke- and spice-driven finish that strongly echoes the floral and blue fruit notes.
