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.
