Domaine Charvin was created back in 1851, but it wasn't until Laurent Charvin joined his father Gérard in 1990 that the estate bottled off their own wines. Such was the critical approval that very rapidly followed, they were soon bottling all of their wines themselves and selling none to the négoce.

Though bottled as a humble Côtes du Rhône, this wine is given just the same care as Charvin’s Châteauneuf, undergoing a long whole-bunch maceration with no destemming before 16 months in concrete prior to bottling without filtration. A refined wine with stylish, spicy fruit, and good structure and freshness despite the obvious power.
