Châteaneuf-du-Pape Chaupin 2001

Past maturity and starting to fade. you are going to want to consume your bottles much sooner than later. The color has grown more pale and while there is still sweet kirsch. pepper and garrigue. the wine is much lighter than it was a few years ago." - 90/100. Jeff Leve. The Wine Cellar Insider.

Wine Advocate

Also classic in style. yet still structured and lively. the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin started out tight and reserved. yet opened up beautifully in the glass to show complex crushed flowers. white pepper. garrigue and kirsch. Like the traditional cuvee. it has plenty of grip and structure. and will have another 3-5 years of solid drinking. (JD. 8/2014)
