It feels like old-vine Grenache with its sleeves rolled up. The fruit is deep, the tannins are velvet, and the finish keeps whispering black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChaupin is Domaine de la Janasse's Grenache Noir cuvée from sandy Châteauneuf-du-Pape ground. The 2023 speaks very directly of that sand. The perfume rises before the fruit turns broad. Sustainable work in the vines keeps the focus on ripe Grenache skins and clean aromatics. This is a dry red Rhône wine at 15% alcohol, so the fruit has real warmth and reach. The strongest vineyard signature is the floral side, with lavender and violet sitting above red plum.\n\nIn the cellar, Domaine de la Janasse gives Chaupin a shape that suits Grenache. The fruit is partially destemmed, which leaves a discreet peppery grip in the wine. Ageing lasts 12 months in large oak, split between 70% foudre and 30% demi-muids. That choice keeps the oak broad and low in volume. The 2023 feels polished rather than glossy. The last sip leaves blackberry skin, black pepper and crushed violet on the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chaupin 2023 opens with a medium ruby colour and a scent that feels lifted before it turns dark. Red plum, blackberry and sweet cherry sit with lavender, violet, black olive and a clear crack of black pepper. The palate has the density of old Grenache on sand, with ripe tannins that spread across the mouth in a soft sheet. The 15% alcohol gives warmth and volume, and the long finish keeps a floral echo rather than only heat. Drink 2025-2045.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChaupin 2023 wants food with browned edges, herbs and a little salt. Daube Provençale with black olives is the regional choice, especially when the sauce carries thyme, rosemary and orange peel. Roast lamb shoulder, grilled côte de boeuf or venison loin will meet the wine's blackberry depth and peppered tannin. For a slower table, try saucisson, wild boar terrine or a board of aged Comté and Tomme de Savoie. The lavender and violet notes make the wine especially good beside dishes with herbes de Provence rather than sweet glazes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine de la Janasse is a Sabon family estate, and its name comes from the old family farm in Courthézon called La Janasse, a detail that still ties the label to one place. Aimé Sabon began bottling under the domaine label in the 1970s, after the family had sold much of its fruit to the local cooperative, and that shift gave Janasse its own estate identity. Today Christophe and Isabelle Sabon work with a large mosaic of parcels across Châteauneuf-du-Pape and nearby Côtes du Rhône, with separate lots that can show clear differences in texture and scent. Chaupin is one of the estate's clearest statements of old-vine Grenache Noir, drawn from sandy Châteauneuf-du-Pape sites and kept apart from the broader estate bottling in both name and feel. The domaine reads Grenache texture with unusual care, and this 2023 carries red plum, blackberry and lavender through a polished surface with large oak sitting quietly in the background of the wine. The cellar choices for Chaupin make that signature tangible, with partial destemming and a full year in 70% foudre and 30% demi-muids before bottling, leaving pepper and violet in the final breath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Janasse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252955369809,"sku":"PS-15791348023676","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/JanasseChaupin2017_d8e3ff12-7e84-4451-9fa3-17c2123a4480.png?v=1783448142","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-de-la-janasse-chateauneuf-du-pape-chaupin-2023","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
