Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chaupin Magnum 2019, Domaine de la Janasse

With surprisingly dark colour for a 100% Grenache, this has a captivating aroma of juicy black cherries, black raspberry, black pepper, pine sap, soy sauce, molasses and crushed vine leaf. Rounded, supple and succulent in texture, with gentle tannin and just the right dose of acidity to keep it fresh, this is a powerful, ripe, full-bodied wine, yet it has impeccable balance. It has fabulous intensity and flavour concentration, and the first hints of herbal complexity (rosemary and basil) on the finish indicate the complexity that will develop with time.
