2015 | Domaine Charvin | Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Intense ruby garnet, purple reflections, broad and bright rim. Attractive red wild berries, cherry compote, candied oranges, a hint of noble oak. Tight texture, black cherries, vivid, somewhat demanding tannins, dark nougat on the finish, savoury in the aftertaste, good ageing potential.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This tradition-minded producer has turned out a fine 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape. It's entirely whole cluster and 85% Grenache and sees only concrete for its vinification and élevage. The result is perfumed and floral, with stone fruit and cherries demonstrating the ripeness of the fruit. Yet it's also firmly tannic, suggesting some time in the cellar prior to prime-time drinking. This is a really fine effort.

• James Suckling: Astounding purity and depth. This wine emanates old vine concentration with deep raspberry and red plums, spicy complexity and a sappy, bracken-like edge. Powerful and elegant tannins, reminiscent of great Barolo!

Producer Information

Domaine Charvin is a southern Rhône producer based in the famous village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are mostly Grenache-dominant blends, with smaller amounts of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Vaccarese, Bourboulenc and Carignan. The domaine was established in 1851 in Châteauneuf-du-Pape by Guillaume Charvin. The estate then spent the majority of its history making bulk wines to be sold to and bottled by local négociants. Apart from a special estate bottling marking the domaine's centenary, the practice of making bulk wines continued up until the 1990s. In 1990 Laurent Charvin, the sixth generation in the family to work at the winery, began the practice of estate bottling for commercial distribution under the domaine's own label. The winery has since expanded its vineyards, more than doubling its property in Châteauneuf-du-Pape to a little more than eight hectares (20 acres), and a further 12 hectares (30 acres) of vineyards in the Côtes du Rhône (and Vin de France) viticultural zone. Domaine Charvin makes a single Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine, and a range of red, white and rosé Côtes du Rhône labels. The wines are fermented and aged in cement tanks, and never see any oak.
