Why Domaine Charvin Deserves Your Attention
Domaine Charvin is a true gem in the Rhône Valley, representing everything that makes this region iconic. Based in the historic village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this family-run estate has been crafting exceptional wines since 1851. Under the expert guidance of Laurent Charvin, the domaine has gained a cult following among wine enthusiasts for its commitment to quality, tradition, and terroir-driven winemaking.
The Philosophy Behind Domaine Charvin
At Domaine Charvin, winemaking is about simplicity and respect for the land. Laurent Charvin’s organic farming practices and low-intervention approach ensure that the wines express their origins with authenticity. Unlike many producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape who rely on oak barrels, Charvin uses only concrete tanks for ageing. This choice preserves the purity of the fruit and allows the unique characteristics of the terroir to shine.
The result? Wines with elegance, balance, and a sense of place that few others in the region can match.
A True Gem Of The Rhône Valley
Domaine Charvin is often compared to the legendary Château Rayas, known for its ethereal and refined style. While Rayas produces some of the most sought-after wines in the world, Charvin offers a similarly elegant, Grenache-driven expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape at a fraction of the price.
What sets Charvin apart is its focus on finesse over power—a refreshing contrast to the often opulent styles found in the Rhône. For collectors and connoisseurs, this makes Domaine Charvin a standout choice, delivering incredible value and quality that punches well above its weight.
We love what they do, so we’ve brought in three of their standout wines: Côtes du Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the rare Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc.
The Wines: Three Rhône Stars
Côtes du Rhône
This isn’t just any Côtes du Rhône—it’s a bottle that over delivers. Mostly Grenache, it’s bright, juicy, and packed with red berry flavours and a touch of spice. Perfect with weeknight pasta or roast chicken.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Charvin’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a Rhône classic. With Grenache at its core (plus a little Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Vaccarèse), it’s rich and layered, with notes of ripe red fruits, herbs, and a savoury edge. Whether you drink it now or let it age, it’s a wine that never disappoints.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
White Châteauneuf-du-Pape might be less well-known, but this bottle is a game-changer. Made from Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Grenache Blanc, it’s fresh, citrusy, and lightly floral, with a lovely almond finish. Perfect for lobster or creamy dishes.
