Domaine de la Charbonnière - Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee 2022

Domaine de la Charbonnière, managed by the Maret family since 1912, is a highly respected estate in the heart of Châteauneuf du Pape. The vineyards are spread across multiple parcels, with Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre vines.
The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented with natural yeasts, preserving the purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is complex and expressive, with aromas of ripe strawberries, black cherries, and licorice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a core of red and dark fruit, supple tannins, and a mineral-driven finish. The 2022 vintage is particularly elegant, offering immediate pleasure while possessing the depth to develop further complexity over the next decade.

Grape: Predominantly Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre
Region: Rhône Valley, France
