Famille Perrin Sélections Parcellaires Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Les Chapouins - 2012
Presentation
“Les Chapouins” is the Famille Perrin’s single vineyard in Chateauneuf du Pape named after the plot. A windy and relatively cool area of the appellation that gives finesse and elegance to this predominantly Grenache blend and shows the great potential of the terroir of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Ageing
Vinified in the same way as Beaucastel, each variety is hand picked separately. Vinification in oak barrels for Syrah and Mourvedre that are reductive varieties, and in traditional cement tanks for the oxidative Grenache variety. After the malolactic fermentation, Famille Perrin blended the different varieties and aged the wine in oak casks for 5 years.
The vintage
2012 is a vintage of contrasts with a very mild start of the year and a freezing month of February.
A fresh and humid spring, followed by a windy and dry month of July and a very hot month of August.
The harvesting conditions were ideal. All these conditions make a great vintage.

Serving
15°C in big glasses with game, truffles and mushrooms.
Tasting
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape, has a delicate garnet colour. Its very expressive nose reveals a superb bouquet of sweet spices with notes of chocolate, truffles and nutmeg. Its complex palate is particularly well structured and silky, supported by aromas of coffee beans. It is an elegant wine with an incredibly long finish.
