Founded in 1851, Laurent Char- vin is the sixth generation to run the family estate. Soon after he took over from his father, Laurent dispensed with most modern winemaking technologies and converted the estate’s entire 28 hectares to organic viticulture.
Vinification begans with tradi- tional whole-cluster fermentation. In addition to leaving the stems, élevage is uniquely undertaken in concrete tank - no barrel. These traditional techniques were once uniquie to Laurent's winemaking. But following success and recognition, many have begun to follow Laurent's lead.
As of 2023, Domaine Charvin now joins only Clos des Papes, Clos du Mont-Olivet, Château Rayas, and Le Vieux Donjon as 3-star rated producers of Châteauneuf- du-Pape by the RVF Green Guide. Olivier Poussier, editor in chief of Revue du Vin de France, writes: “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 simple CDR is a real gourmandise/delectable wine with the potential to be expressed best at a minimum of 5 years.”
