Tasting

To the eye

A deep garnet colour with cherry-red highlights; bright and crystal-clear.

Nose

An expressive and vibrant bouquet. It features black cherry, crushed raspberry and a hint of garrigue (thyme, bay leaf). A peppery, floral note (rose petal) adds complexity to the whole.

Palate

The attack is rich and full-bodied. The palate is smooth and juicy, characterised by a fleshy yet supple texture. The tannins are fine and silky. The absence of oak ageing allows the fruit to shine through, supported by a mineral edge and a fresh, almost minty finish.

Pairing

Perfect with a roast leg of lamb, rabbit with prunes or lasagne with duck confit. Open one hour before serving. Serve at 16°C.

Aging potential

In 2026, it is bursting with youthfulness. Whilst it is delicious to drink now, it has the structure to age harmoniously over the next 5 to 10 years.

Your questions, our answers.

Is this 2023 a good choice if I’m mainly looking for fruit and freshness?

Yes, these are the two qualities highlighted in its description: remarkable fruit intensity and a lively, sap-like freshness. It therefore suits someone looking for vibrancy and easy drinkability rather than aromas associated with ageing.

What can whole-cluster fermentation bring to this wine?

The grapes are fermented without being destemmed. For this 2023, the description attributes a lively, sap-like freshness to the stems: something to look for when tasting, alongside the fruit intensity.

Can I find the same approach as in Charvin’s flagship wine?

Yes, the estate follows the same principles: whole-cluster fermentation, natural fermentation and ageing in concrete vats. This offers a chance to discover that approach in a Côtes du Rhône, without assuming it will taste or have the same complexity as the flagship wine.

Is this bottle better suited to a relaxed tasting than a formal occasion?

Its vibrant character and easy drinkability make it well suited to a relaxed tasting. The idea is to enjoy its fruit and freshness, without saving this bottle for a particular occasion.

Does natural fermentation alone make it a “natural wine”?

No, that information alone is not enough to classify it as such. It tells you about a winemaking choice, but the information provided does not specify all the estate’s practices, particularly regarding inputs or sulphur.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
