Domaine Charvin 2021 Chateauneuf-du-Pape

97 Points James Suckling - This great Chateauneuf combines the richness of the vintage with remarkable precision and vitality. Stacks of ripe damson plum, licorice and candied orange. Great tannin structure and lots of power on the full-bodied palate, with bitter chocolate and a stony character that builds at the very long, super-focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 94 Points RVF Guide 2024 - “Situated in the cool area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the domaine produces wines of the classic style without destemming and aged in concrete tank. Without loss of any power, in the last few years the wines have gained in finesse. The production is from old vine grenache. The 2021 Châteauneuf has a delicious nose of red berries and cherry. A hint of spice, garrigue and bay leaf adds complexity. It is a moderately powerful wine in the style of the vintage. Beautiful freshness on the palate; vibrancy to the texture.” - Olivier Poussier Laurent Charvin has only 10 ha. of Château
