Domaine de la Janasse, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Chaupin 2015

The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin is all Grenache, 40% whole cluster, aged in two-thirds foudre and one-third demi-muids and drawn exclusively from sandy sites. It showcases incredibly lush, silky fruit. Raspberries and cherries of incredible purity add hints of chocolate to the long finish but never seem heavy or warm.

Drink 2017 - 2027

The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin is another elegant, seamless example of this cuvée that shines for its complexity and length. This incredibly pretty, nuanced and silky beauty emerges from black raspberries, black cherries, dried flowers, incense, and spice note. 

With polished tannin and solid length, it will keep for 10-15 years. It lacks the depth of a truly great year but is a fabulous wine that just sings of Grenache.

100% grenache from vines planted in 1912 has a spiced blue plum and cassis-scented nose leading into a palate with smooth, deep, velvety layers of blueberry and plum flavour.
