Details
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de la Janesse, Cuvée Chaupin --Vintage 2001
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Aimé Sabon
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: Made from 100 Grenache (60-year old vines planted in one of the regions coolest terroirs), the 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin sees no new oak, contrary to what readers may have heard elsewhere. The saturated purple/plum color is followed by a big, sweet bouquet of raspberries, black kirsch liqueur, and a hint of white flowers. Chewy and full-bodied, with slightly more structure and tannin than usual, this surprisingly elegant yet full-flavored 2001 will benefit from another 1-3 years of cellaring. The most backward and structured Chaupin made between 1998 and 2001, it could easily be mistaken for a top grand cru red Burgundy from a great vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 151 (Feb 2004).
