FEATURES

🏰 The 1998 Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin is a 【magnificent expression from a highly acclaimed producer and a stellar Southern Rhone vintage, showcasing the power and elegance of old-vine Grenache】. The 1998 vintage was exceptional in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, known for producing rich, concentrated, and long-lived wines. Chaupin, often a 100% Grenache cuvée, would likely display a complex bouquet of kirsch, raspberry, and garrigue, evolving into notes of leather, licorice, and exotic spices. The palate would be full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins, a luscious texture, and a long, warm finish that speaks to its Mediterranean origins and age. 🍴 This powerful and aromatic Chateauneuf-du-Pape is an ideal partner for roasted game (like venison or wild boar), rich lamb dishes, beef daube, or hearty Provençal stews. It also pairs beautifully with strong, aged cheeses. 🥂 Perfect for a grand dinner party, a special celebration, or a vertical tasting of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This wine is likely in its prime drinking window, offering a profound and memorable experience. Decanting for an hour or two before serving would allow its complex aromas to fully unfold.

BACKGROUND

Domaine Janasse is a fairly new property in the Southern Rhone Valley, France. The actual estate is situated in the area of Courthezon. Domaine de la Janasse is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer owned and operated by the Sabon family. It was founded in 1967 by Aimé Sabon. Domaine de la Janasse began with 15 hectares (37 acres) of estate vineyards and now has more than 90 hectares (220 acres), with 15 hectares (37 acres) in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Janasse grows all 13 permissible grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, from the standard Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah to lesser known components like Counoise, Vaccarèse, and Bourboulenc. Many of the white Châteauneuf-du-Pape varieties, along with Syrah, are planted in the slightly cooler vineyards to the north in east-exposed vineyards.
