"The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin, which I was able to taste (and
drink) from multiple bottles, is a beautiful Grenache that comes from the
cooler, northeastern edge of the appellation. Coming almost all from the
Chapouin lieu-dit (it gets a small bit from La Janasse), it gives up the classic
notes of black berries, spring flowers, violets, and licorice that I always seem
to find in this cuvee. Building nicely on the palate, it is medium to
full-bodied, beautifully textured, has tons of sweet fruit and solid, if not
firm, tannin that come out on the finish. It will be better in another couple of
years and have 15+ years of overall longevity."

“Year-in and year-out, their Chateauneuf du Papes are among the top three or
four wines of the vintage.”
Robert Parker

"Combining power, intensity, and sensuality, the wines of La Janasse rank among
the very best of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.”
César Rivière, Vinous Media

"One of the benchmark estates in the Rhone Valley.”
