Description
The Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin was harvested in early October. This wonderfully fresh and pure chateanuaf du pape shows liquorice , violets , flowers and black fruit. This is a medium to full-bodied wine which is beautifully balanced with a lively atmosphere in the mouth and a lot of depth and complexity . The Cuvee Chaupin from Domaine de la Janasse is made from 100 % Grenache , which comes from very old vines and sandy soils. If you can, give it a few years and enjoy it for at least 10-15 years . The 2017 has been awarded 95 Parker points and is extremely rare, especially since Domaine de la Janasse makes absolute top wines across the board, there is an absolute run on these wines.
Domaine de la Janasse dates back to 1967 when it was founded by Aimé Sabon with 15 ha of vineyard. The total surface area now consists of 55 ha and is currently run by son Christophe and his sister Isabelle. The vineyards are located on a difficult subsoil of gravel, sand and large boulders. The vines are 40 to 80 years old. The yield is usually less than 30 hl/ha due to strict pruning and a rigorous vendange verte.
Janasse's big breakthrough came in 2007, when their Châteauneuf du Pape "Veilles Vignes" scored 100 Parker points!! Year after year, all their wines score excellent. The quality of this domaine is so great that even their "regular" Cotes-du-Rhone has a high reputation worldwide! This is really a TOP domaine!
