The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin rivals the 2007 Chaupin (to date the best Chaupin I have yet tasted). Made from 100% Grenache... it boasts a dense black/purple color as well as unbelievable notes of raspberries, black cherries, licorice, truffles, camphor, forest floor and garrigue. This wine is stunningly concentrated, incredibly noble, precise and expansive on the palate with mouth-saturating intensity, glycerin and extract. It is an amazing example of impeccably grown old vine Grenache translated into a natural yet full-throttle red. Robert Parker

Another gem from #ericgudio s cellar but I can’t tag him. Bright bracing acid, sexy kirsch fruit on the palate, balanced tannin on the finish. #janasse #cuveechaupin #chaupin

100pct Grenache and at 8 years still a baby. Close to perfection

Du beau fruit, de la prune et de la figue. Malheureusement l’alcool est trop présent. Je n’arrive toujours pas à comprendre les Janasse 2010. Peu de plaisir en l’état actuel.

Concentration de fruits noirs, prune, figue, c’est dense mais l’alcool est vraiment trop présente. Ca manque clairement d’équilibre.... pas mon genre de chateauneuf !
