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.
