Chaupin 2017 (75 CL)

A hundred percent Grenache sourced entirely from safre, or sandy soils, the Chaupin is a scintillating, red fruited delight packed with flavors of raspberry jelly and red cherry preserves. It's a gorgeously silky, mouthdrenching sip framed by fine-grained, lingering tannins and traces of crushed earth and black fig. A stunner already but should develop complexity and depth for decades to come. Anna Lee C. Iijima" - 98/100, Wine Enthusiast

The all-Grenache 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin is sourced from sandy soils and ages in a combination of foudres and demi-muids. It shows more structure than the regular cuvée, supporting the ripe raspberry and blackberry fruit with bright acids and velvety tannins. Full-bodied and rich, it's long, picking up hints of licorice on the finish. (JC 8/2019)
