We are thrilled to offer a fantastic Rhone bottling which will remind you of a lush, richly fruited Chateauneuf du Pape at a fraction of the price. This delicious Champauvins Cotes du Rhone has been incredibly popular over the years with fans of full-bodied reds who like their tannins on the silky side.
One of the greatest things about the nearly perfect 2022 vintage in the Rhone Valley is that the quality is not only relegated to the higher priced cuvées. The hype of the vintage is justified and wines are undeniably pleasing. Case in point is the Grand Veneur Champauvins from the humble Cotes du Rhône appellation. This "Baby Chateauneuf" is an amazing wine displaying persistent, deeply fruited deliciousness that just won't quit!
Rhone loving wine critic, Jeb Dunnuck gave this wine 92 Points in his glowing review saying this wine has "Châteauneuf du Pape-like notes," "offering beautiful richness and depth," and "it's going to blow you away." Robert Parker famously said about Champauvins, "This is the poor person's Chateauneuf du Pape."
The consistent theme amongst critics and us here at Hi-Time is this is seriously good juice for under $24.00! It's really easy to understand why. The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard plot known for its quality, which is located just outside the boundary of the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. This means we can enjoy an excellent wine at a fraction of the price of its famous neighbor. The vineyard is adjacent to the famous Coudoulet vineyard from Chateau Beaucastel and shares the same incredible quality to price ratio as that wine.
This delicious, crowd-pleasing Baby Chateauneuf is going to blow you away and one to grab by the case to share with friends and family.
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "Châteauneuf du Pape-like notes of red and black fruits, melted licorice, and peppery garrigue all emerge from the 2022 Côtes du Rhône Les Champauvins, a rich, medium to full-bodied 2022 offering beautiful richness and depth. Based on 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre that has the Grenache raised in concrete and the Syrah and Mourvèdre in oak, it's going to blow you away any time over the coming 7-8 years or more."
