Domaine de la Janasse - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Chaupin - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

Pure Grenache Noir, carried by flavors of pit fruit, rosewood and sweet spices, the 2021 red Chaupin Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a wine of charm and harmony, with a smooth, delicate texture and a more restrained power than in sunnier vintages. Very elegant and particularly tasty, it can be enjoyed from its earliest youth and for another ten years or so. Rated 94/100 RVF.

Vinification:

Hand harvested and sorted on the vine. 80% de-stemming, 26-day maceration with daily manual punching of the cap. Aged for 12 months, 2/3 in foudres and 1/3 in demi-muids (600 liters).

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Stuffed duckling, barbecued prime rib, Provençal rack of veal.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2034.

A jewel of the Southern Rhône and recipient of 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Domaine de la Janasse is a highly sought-after estate known for its exceptional consistency. The Sabon family passionately nurtures this estate, producing notable wines in both Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes-du-Rhône.

It’s important to understand that everything here is outstanding! Excellence is achieved across all cuvées, thanks to meticulous efforts in both cultivation and vinification, as well as an ideal fragmentation of vineyard parcels.

With perfectly achieved ripeness, the wines are powerful yet exhibit great finesse and freshness. They are the preferred choice of Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World and a member of our Tasting Committee!
