In the southern Rhône lies Domaine Charvin. The estate's 32 hectares are managed by the 6th generation of the family and produces wines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes-du-Rhône appellations. Syrah and Grenache account for 90% of the vineyard, the rest being planted to Vaccaèse and Mourvèdre. The average age of vines is 45 (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and 35 (Côtes-du-Rhône). They cultivated according to traditional methods and the grapes are harvested by hand; Yields are limited to 30hl/ha for the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 50hl/ha for the Côtes du Rhône. Vinifications are also traditional with no destemming or filtration. The domain produces, on average, 100,000 bottles a year.

Grenache (90%) and Carignan (10%), which make up this Côtes-du-Rhône, macerated for considerable time before alcoholic fermentation was done in concrete vats and interspersed with daily pump-over. Also aged in concrete vats, the wine was bottled 13 months after its harvest. Round and powerful, it exudes real finesse and fine elegance thanks to a hint of freshness. This lovely wine is enjoyed when young with both white and red meat.
