The Wine

 A sensual and joyous blend of Grenache with a dash of Cinsault. The name translates to 'a fistful of grapes' and is produced from the younger vines on the original Gramenon estate. Here we have a red Côtes du Rhône that is refreshing, invigorating and very moreish. Even brighter and more lifted than normal it is especially silky, lithe and most of all, delicious. So many try to make this style of wine and yet there is nothing like this; we never get as much as we want of this very popular wine so be quick.

The fruit is fermented without sulphur using indigenous yeasts. Everything is moved by gravity, there are no pumps.  The wine is bottled without fining or filtration with only some cuvees receiving light amounts of sulphur.

This style of non-interventionist winemaking 'par excellence has forged the estate a legendary reputation and following. The wines age wonderfully when correctly stored.

About the Wine Maker

This estate is located in northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape and Cotes du Rhone vineyards border directly on to Chateauneuf du Pape close to the estate winery. 100% whole bunch vinification in large cement. Ageing in cement tank for 18 months for both the reds with no fining or filtration. Charvin produces finely styled Grenache based wines showing great depth and finesse (approximately 80% Grenache for each wine with small amounts of Vacaresse and Mourvedre as well as small amounts of Carignan and Bourboulenc for the Côtes du Rhône). Winemaking is traditional with no de-stemming and all ageing is done in cement tanks. No wood is used for the elevage of either wine. There are no secrets here, simply old vines, very low yields and minimal winemaking intervention. The Côtes du Rhône is regularly rated as one of the very best from this area and perhaps it is not surprising as the vines for this cuvee border directly on to the appellation for Chateauneuf du Pape in the northern sector where they are located. “Charvin may indeed produce the Richebourg of Chateauneuf du Pape.”— Robert Parker Jr, The Wine Advocate
