Tasting notes
The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin should continue to drink well for at least a few more years. A medium to full-bodied effort, it delivers notes of fine leather, ripe cherries, pressed flowers and dried plums, but it's rather loosely structured and open-knit.

Now fully mature (which is the case for most 2011s), the 2011 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin is drinking beautifully, offering lots of up-front kirsch, garrigue, spice box, truffle, and peppery nuances. Medium to full-bodied, supple, and elegant on the palate, it has wonderful sweetness of fruit, silky tannins, and a great finish. This classic 2011 shows the perfumed, finesse-driven side to Grenache wonderfully.
Liquorice, black cherry and chocolate with a spice note that is quite uncommon – cumin? Certainly distinctive and enjoyable. (RH)
