The Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin 2011 in Magnum offers a beautifully expressive profile of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by notes of herbs, licorice, and subtle earthiness. With its velvety texture and balanced acidity, this vintage is approachable now but has the structure to develop even more complexity with age.
About The Producer
The estate was founded in 1976 by Aime Sabon, the father of Christophe and Isabelle, who still oversee the vineyards. The property consists of 40 hectares, spread over as many as 70 different parcels throughout the appellation. While Aime works in the vineyards, his children are in charge of wine production. Christophe is a self-proclaimed, great defender of Grenache, which still represents 75% of their vines. With assistance from Aime and Isabelle, he manages the common rusticity of Grenache-based wines through meticulous work in the vineyards and cellar. The result is a wide range of rich and flavorful Châteauneuf-du-Papes, Cotes-du-Rhônes and Vins de Pays that are complex and balanced often in contradiction to a region better known for sheer exuberance and power.
