Famille Perrin : Châteauneuf du Pape "Les Chapouins" 2014
Rhone Valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Red Wine -In this 2014 vintage, “Les Chapouins” Châteauneuf-du-Pape, signed by the Perrin Family, reveals itself as one of the finest successes of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Made from a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache, it showcases all the potential of a terroir nestled in the northeast of the appellation, highly regarded for its freshness and exposure to the Mistral. Here is our tasting note:
The Color: A lovely ocher hue with sublime violet reflections.
The Nose: Powerful, with aromas of black truffle, undergrowth, and delicate spicy notes.
The Palate: Generous and marked by remarkable finesse, with soft, melting tannins. Flavors of dark fruit, licorice, and roasted coffee beans abound. The finish is long and elegant, worthy of the great wines of the appellation.
This 2014 vintage of Châteauneuf-du-Pape benefited from mild weather conditions, conducive to optimal flowering and fruit set, ensuring a plentiful harvest. The fine weeks of September completed the ripening process, allowing for perfect balance. True to the style of Château Beaucastel, the Perrin Family vinifies each variety separately, with meticulous sorting and manual harvesting, before precise blending and 5 years of aging in foudres.
Elegantly crafted, this gem from the Perrin Family reflects the best of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir. Its smooth tannins and impressive length give it a refined, delicate profile, embodying the family’s constant pursuit of finesse in their wines. A wonderful cru that pays tribute to the history and expertise of the owners of the prestigious Château Beaucastel.
The 12bouteilles Advice: Serve this 2014 “Les Chapouins” Châteauneuf-du-Pape at 15°C, preferably in large glasses. We recommend opening or decanting it 1 to 2 hours before tasting in order to release its full complexity. It pairs perfectly with game dishes, recipes featuring truffles or mushrooms. Already remarkable to taste, it can also further improve in the cellar. Take the opportunity to discover other Perrin Family gems, such as the famous Château de Beaucastel or the wines from Miraval and Studio in Provence—the result of their collaboration with Brad Pitt.
