""Relatively black-fruited for a pure Grenache, it's generous in fruit but not excessive, the alcohol is high of course (it's pure Grenache), but it feels integrated. Long, pure, velvety - this is really stunning. Lifted plum fruit, dusted with dried oregano. It's young, but already quite accessible. It will age well thanks to its freshness and balance. Parcels of Grenache planted on lieux-dits Chaupin, La Janasse and La Crau, mostly sandy soils, the oldest planted in 1912."

"Coming from the northern part of the appellation and 100% Grenache that saw one-third stems, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin ups the ante considerably and brings a beautiful array of black cherries, melted licorice, peppery garrigue, and some rose and floral nuances. While it clearly plays in the fresher style of the vintage, it has a layered, expansive mouthfeel, wonderful purity, and outstanding length. It's easily up with the finest wines in the vintage and will evolve for over a decade"
James Suckling: 94 Points
"A perfumed nose of cherries, red plums, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried leaves, roasted meat, black pepper, stones and dried flowers. Full-bodied with fine grained tannins. Ample and creamy with a caressing texture of red berries on the palate, with a touch of spices, bringing vibrancy throughout. Layered and succulent. Crisp towards the long finish."
Vinous Media: 94 Points
"Aged for one year in a combination of foudre and demi-muids, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chaupin is made from Grenache that grows on sandy soils from a late-ripening terroir. Coming in at 15% alcohol, it showcases an alluring perfume of ripe red fruits along with hints of black cherry and plum, dried herbs, licorice and mint. Capturing purity and freshness outstandingly well, this full-bodied red seamlessly flows across the palate, ending with a resonating finish.
