Chaupin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fresh nose of red fruits with earth, light wood and tobacco.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, spices, light oak, chocolate notes and tobacco leaf.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is already drinking beautifully. Engaging, elegant and fruity. Spicy and interesting.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 10 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.

100% Grenache grapes were grown on sandy soils, and aged for 12 months in large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, light oak, licorice, chocolates, spices and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Grenache blend is starting to drink very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Elegant and rich. Interesting and engaging. A very traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape in style.

Well balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of all 13 allowed grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but mostly Grenache. Hand picked and whole cluster. Aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1989

1989 vintage. Decent fill and cork. Not decanted. Powdery, not chunky, sed. Tasted after 3.5 hours open. Light-medium body. Nose and flavors kept up the intensity in complete harmony. Special. Well-stored examples should yield similar pleasure for another 5-6 years. 03.29.25. — a month ago
