Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chaupin 2023

Rich, silky darkness envelops the senses, with a deep, indulgent black cherry color that deepens with each sip. The flavor profile is a masterful blend of dense cherries, with a gentle undertone of smokiness that lingers on the palate. The finish is long and smooth, with a delightful glassiness that leaves the drinker wanting more. The in total tasting is one of sophisticated luxury, with a sophisticated and layered character that rewards repeated sips.

Harmonious and elegant wine, underscoring the characteristics of 100% granache, with a structured profile and balanced tannins. The tail is polished and refined, with elegant undertones of red fruit and liquorice.

I was utterly enchanted by the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Chaupin, a 100% Grenache. The moment I cracked open the bottle, I was struck by the intoxicating aromas of dense fruit, crushed stones, peppery notes, and fragrant herbs. As the wine unfolded in the glass, its layers and depth became apparent, with a rich, full-bodied smoothness and a refreshing acidity. The lasting impression was long and satisfying, leaving me eager for another sip. I thoroughly enjoyed this remarkable wine with my loved ones, bringing a delightful steak dinner.
