Please open a 07 Janasse CdP not the Chaupin or VV or the CdR but the regular CdP......well my sweet wife grabbed the first Janasse she came upon not understanding the differences I was trying to point out. Well I have had to suffer through drinking the Chaupin again the last two nights - worst things could happen.
- 2007 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (1/6/2010)
I guess I just like this wine .....lots of complexity and layers, fig, tar, spices, tropical fruit intermixed with the tannins, long finish a bit hot and alch shows through nose of spice ans sweet fruits ...from the nose you know it is good (94 pts.) - 2007 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (11/5/2009)
a beauty, dark fruits, long finish, evenly balanced no hot finish, spicy ,some coco....this should just get better and better for years (94 pts.) - 2007 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (9/13/2009)
I had very high expectations from this wine and it delivered a big impressive wine but we all picked the 07 vieux donjon as better wine with a 4 different game dinners - great food selection for these CdPs
openned at 2p left standing , decanted at resturant and drank around 630p
massive dark color very rich, great spicy nose and a little heat
huge mouth full of spice, one of the most spicy wines i can remember but matched well with the grilled,herb rubbed ostrich I had
strawberries, black licorice and leather............ordered a few more bottles (94 pts.)
