The outstanding 1993 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupoins (from a lieux-dit in one of the best parts of the appellation) is extremely concentrated and full-bodied, with great purity of black-cherry and cassis fruit. Long and opulent, with a viscous texture, it can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years. Aime Sabon has emerged as one of the bright shining stars of Chateauneuf du Pape. Her wines are not to be missed, although Europeans are quickly catching on to their sumptuousness and exhilarating precision and richness. Sabon enjoyed considerable success in both 1993 and 1994. Domaine de la Janasse has not yet received the world-wide recognition it deserves, so shrewd buyers are advised to stock up.
