Producer: Domaine de la Charbonnière Ratings: WA | 92 JS | 95 Vintage: 2019 Size: 750ml ABV: 16% Varietal: Southern Rhone Red Blend Country/Region: France, Rhone Berry fruits like blackberries and raspberries with lots of spice, roasted nuts and pungent rosemary notes. It's a powerful wine but accessible now with nice ripe tannins. Reviews: Wine Advocate: It's full-bodied and supple, finishing silky and long, with just a touch of warmth. James Suckling: Prototypical Southern Rhone nose of black fruit with orange zest and licorice. Very fresh and spicy palate, in spite of the ripeness and amplitude of the palate. The full tannins are already very well integrated, building steadily at the imposing yet refined finish. Producer Information Domaine de la Charbonnière is a family-owned wine estate situated just northeast of the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, particularly known for its Grenache-based red wines from that appellation. Current owners, the Maret family, trace their association with the property back to 1912, when Eugene Maret bought the estate as a gift for his wife. Michel Maret, who took over in 1973, gave the domaine its current name, reflecting its location an area formerly used for charcoal burning. His daughter Véronique Maret assumed full control of winemaking in 2012. The estate farms 19 hectares (47 acres) of small but well-sited vineyard parcels scattered throughout Châteauneuf-du-Pape. There are also nearly six hectares (14 acres) in Vacqueyras and two hectares (five acres) of vines in the Côtes du Rhône and IGP vineyard zones. Since 2015, all of Domaine de la Charbonnière's wines have been certified organic. There are several different red Châteaneuf-du-Pape cuvées in the portfolio. The standard release combines 70 percent Grenache with equal parts of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Charbonnière makes around 4000 cases of this wine a year, which makes up the bulk of the domaine's Châteauneuf-du-Pape production.
