Order wine : Domaine de La Janasse Cuvée Chaupin 2021
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Aimé Sabon
94/100/100 James Suckling
19 Apr, 2023 - "Fragrant nose of cherries, red plums, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried leaves, roasted meat, black pepper, stones and dried flowers. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Full and creamy with a caressing texture of red berries on the palate, with a touch of spice bringing vivacity to the whole. Layered and succulent. The long finish is crisp. Drink it or keep it.
- 100% Grenache. Vineyards planted in 1912 for the older ones.
- Location: This wine is coming from the cold and late soil named Chapouin (sand), La Crau and La Janasse (sand).
- Acreage: 7 ha.
- Grapes: 100% Grenache. The oldest vines were planted in 1912.
- Vineyard: The vines are grown without pesticides or insecticides and manure is natural.
- Yield: 28 hl/ha.
- Vinification: 80% stems removal. Maceration during 26 days and handmade pressing once a day.
- Ageing process: 2/3 in big barrels (“foudres”) and 1/3 in 600 litres barrels (“demi-muids”).
- Production: 12 to 16.000 bottles per year.
- Tasting: The quintessential grenache in its most beautiful expression on his cradle Châteauneuf. Between notes of black fruit and violets, this wine evoluates with very soft tannins already melted. A beautiful bottle, archetype of the appellation, to marry a deer stew today and within the next twenty-five years.
