One of the rock stars of Chateauneuf du Pape is Domaine de la Janasse. The cuvee Chaupin is produced from 100-year-old vines and incorporates Grenache from La Janasse and Le Crau. In 2019, the wines are all of stellar quality and must-buys for Chateauneuf lovers!
"A powerful, ripe vintage showcasing a step-up in quality from 2018 with areas of localised greatness in both the north and south. A swelteringly hot, very dry year that was surprisingly successful, especially in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, both reds and whites." - Matt Walls, Decanter
"Looking first at the 2019s, the majority of which were tasted out of bottle, these are rich, powerful wines that have full-bodied, structured profiles that are going to benefit from bottle age. This is a great, at times exceptional, vintage for the Southern Rhône. I expect there to be a solid demand for this vintage, which is already being snatched up...If you love Southern Rhônes, which are some of the most underrated wines in the world, you will love to have these wines in your cellar.” - Jeb Dunnuck

I was able to taste the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin on two occasions, rating it one point higher on one of those as well. Incredible notes of red and black fruits, violets, scorched earth, ground pepper, and Provençal garrigue notes define the nose, and it’s a darker, richer, slightly more powerful wine than usual, while still showing the inherent elegance and finesse this cuvée always shows. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following 15-20. Don’t miss it! - Jeb Dunnuck
This Grenache is sourced from the sandy soils of two prized vineyards, La Janasse and La Crau. Redolent of rose petals, smoky tea leaves and black cherry, the deeply penetrating wine pulsates through a long, long finish. Matured 12 months in large-format wood, it's pure in fruit and satiny on the palate. Stunning young, the wine should gain complexity through at least 2040 and hold much further still. - Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast
Amazing aerial freshness to the aromas - somehow both full-bodied but weightless with a perfect balance. This is silky smooth, a very elegant wine with a touch of blackcurrant to the raspberry fruits. The alcohol is warming on the finish however. Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chapouin, La Janasse and La Crau, the oldest planted in 1912. Drinking Window 2021 - 2036 - Matt Walls, Decanter
