Domain Charvin Côtes du Rhône Le Poutet
Wine Information
About 15ha of about (depending on the crop variation each year) 81% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignan, 7% Syrah that average just 35hL/ha annually. Some vines are as old as 90 years, with the blend averaging 40 years old. Organically farmed and harvested by hand. On a sandy terroir with more clay than limestone and with some round stones (galets roulés), the slopes are north facing and the parcels are just on the northwest limit of the CDP lieu-dit Maucoil. Only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation in cement tanks (no wood). Whole clusters macerate for about 21 days. The wine is bottled without filtration after 18 months in vats.
