• Wine Fool Likes this wine: 98 points

  February 21, 2015 - Tasted alongside the 2010 Domaine de la Janasse Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, this wine was not to be outdone. The super dark color is very promising. There is an exuberant nose of dark fruits, uncooked beef, licorice, cloves, and a nice dose of “sweet gaminess.” Medium bodied and supple in the mouth, concentrated kirsch mixes with blueberries, stewed tea, dark chocolate and more cloves. The persistence of these flavors is long and robed in sweet tannins. Delicious, complete and stunning. While it may not make the bones of the Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, this Chaupin does not need to: it is simply wonderful in its own right.
