Famille Perrin - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Les Chapouins - Red - 2014

Wine:

A single-parcel selection from a cool, well-ventilated site, the 2014 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Chapouins Red is a shining ambassador for the appellation.

Grenache-dominant and aged for five years in large wooden foudres, it reveals deep, complex aromas of leather and dried hay. The palate is elegant and finely structured, with silky tannins leading into layers of forest floor and mushrooms, before unfolding into a long, perfectly balanced finish, lifted by freshness and precision.

Vinification:

Hand harvested separately for each grape variety. Vinification in truncated wooden vats for the Syrah and Mourvèdre and in traditional concrete vats for the Grenache. Blend of the different grape varieties. Aged in casks for 5 years.

Color:

Intense red with copper highlights.

Nose:

Powerful notes of red and black fruits emphasised by leather aromas.

Palate:

Generous and full-bodied, this cuvée reveals a beautifully complex herbal bouquet, supported by a well-balanced structure and bright acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish.

Temperature:

Serve at 16 to 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Tournedos on a bed of mashed potatoes with truffle, pigeon casserole with peas, duck leg confit.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2029 and beyond for enthusiasts.
