Domaine Charvin

68 Côtes-du-Rhône AC 2009
Domaine CharvinGrape:85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre (14% alc.)
This wine is given just the same care as Charvin’s Châteauneuf. There is a 15 day cuvaison with no destemming before 16 months in cuve prior to bottling without filtration. The 2008 is another excellent example with a supple, elegant fruit and spicy, natural, unforced quality. For drinking now to 2012.

81 Châteauneuf-du-Pape AC 2006
Domaine CharvinGrape:82% Grenache, 5% Vaccarèse, 5% Mourvèdre, 8% Syrah (14.5% alc.)
The over-riding impression with the 2006 is one of harmony, a natural wine emanating from superb work in the vineyard and the least possible intervention and work on the wine back in the cave. It has spicy, chewy cherry fruit, a hint of thyme and is rich, long, but always fresh with a touch of limestone minerality on the finish. For drinking now to 2015+.
