Grape varieties: Grenache (100%) Age of vines: 50-100+ years old Farming: Practicing organic Soils: Sand Fermentation: Hand harvested, 20% whole cluster, fermentation in tank, 21-28 day maceration Aging: 18 months in foudre and 600L French oak demi-muids (maximum 20% new) Additional Information: Chaupin was first conceived when Eric Solomon began importing Domaine de la Janasse to the US in 1990. At the time, Eric was struck by the purity and energy of the old-vine Grenache that Christophe Sabon made from the lieu-dit of Chapouin, and he convinced him to bottle a portion of this wine as a separate cuvée. Since that time, the sourcing of Chaupin has expanded to include Grenache from sandy soils in La Janasse and Le Crau. SHOW LESS
