Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Charvin’s gorgeously aromatic 2019 Chateauneuf du Papesourced from the sectors of Cabrires (Nord) and Maucoilfeatures scents of lavender, garrigue and purple raspberries. In the mouth, it’s full-bodied and concentrated, with ample, ripe tannins, then seems a bit warm and rough, with a wooly-tannic finish.

• James Suckling: A ripe and almost opulent Chateauneuf-du-Pape with very ripe plum and blackberry aromas, plus notes of old balsamic vinegar and savory. The serious tannin structure holds it on track and keeps the palate decisively dry. Builds to an impressive crescendo at the ample dry finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Charvin is a southern Rhne producer based in the famous village of Chteauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are mostly Grenache-dominant blends, with smaller amounts of Syrah, Mourvdre, Vaccarese, Bourboulenc and Carignan. The domaine was established in 1851 in Chteauneuf-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 ngociants. 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 Chteauneuf-du-Pape to a little more than eight hectares (20 acres), and a further 12 hectares (30 acres) of vineyards in the Ctes du Rhne (and Vin de France) viticultural zone. Domaine Charvin makes a single Chteauneuf-du-Pape wine, and a range of red, white and ros Ctes du Rhne labels. The wines are fermented and aged in cement tanks, and never see any oak.
