DomaineCharvinChateauneuf-du-Pape

<p>Top notch CNDP for the ‘big and bold’ lovers out there. Brimming with dark cherry, peppery spice, and dried herbs, it is rich, deep, and yet full of freshness thanks to its vibrant acidity. Fairly full bodied, with fine tannins and a long and savoury finish. </p><p>This vintage is absolutely age-worthy thanks to the attentive work in the vineyard and cellar. Whole bunches are crushed lightly during a 20 days fermentation, and aged in concrete for up to 21 months. </p><p>Laurent Charvin runs this small family estate located in the north of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Here the soils are a mix of sand, limestone-clay and Rhône’s famous ‘galets roulés’. The family estate was created back in 1851, but it wasn’t until Laurent 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 their wines themselves and selling none to the négoce. </p><p> Origin: Chateauneuf Du Pape, Rhone, FranceVintage: 2021Grape varieties: 82% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 5% Vaccarèse, 5% MourvèdreFood pairings: meats, cassoulet, Asian dishes, rich fish and hearty vegetables Bottle size: 75clABV: 14.5%</p><p>ORGANIC</p>
