Domaine de La Janasse Cuvée Chaupin 2020
Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Aimé Sabon
(93 - 95)/100 Parker
Cellaring potential: 2023 - 2035
Tasting Note by Joe Czerwinski on May 5, 2022: "All Grenache, with about 20-30% whole clusters, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin is slightly herbaceous and stemmy on the nose, but these elements are balanced by wonderful black cherry and blackberry fruit. Concentrated yet silky, with a long briny finish, this is another solid 2020 from the Sabon family.
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.
