Domaine de la Charbonnière Côtes du Rhône — Southern Rhône, France 2024
Domaine de la Charbonnière is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most respected family estates — a producer known for combining the intensity and depth of Southern Rhône fruit with genuine finesse and elegance across their entire range. The 2024 Côtes du Rhône is crafted from estate-owned Grenache and Syrah planted on the plots of "Husson" and "Saint Martin" in Courthézon, harvested by hand, sorted on the estate by vibrating table, and vinified together with a two-week maceration for structure and fruit depth. Aging in stainless steel vats and barrels preserves the purity and freshness of the fruit. The result is a beautifully balanced, fruit-forward red that overdelivers at its price point — a pleasure wine built to share.
The nose is fresh and expressive: bright red cherry, ripe strawberry, fresh red fruit, and subtle floral lift. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a clean, fruit-driven mouthfeel, gentle tannins, and a pure, lingering finish dominated by the clarity of the fruit. It is approachable, elegant, and deeply satisfying — the kind of estate Côtes du Rhône that disappears fast at the table.
"We produce wonderfully well-balanced wines that combine the intensity and depth of fruit with finesse and elegance. The plots for this Côtes du Rhône are located in the town of Courthézon. It is a pleasure wine to share with friends and family." — Winemaker's Notes, Domaine de la Charbonnière

We produce wonderfully well-balanced wines that combine the intensity and depth of fruit with finesse and elegance. Our wines have been distinguished repeatedly by the most prestigious journalists of the World.
"One of my favorite estates in the southern Rhone, Domaine de la Charbonniere is run with great passion and enthusiasm One of their most under-valued and under-rated wines is their sensational Vasqueyras. They consistently produce four cuvees of Chateauneuf du Pape that are traditionally made" Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
“A fantastic estate, Domaine de la Charbonniere is run by the Maret family, with their two daughters, Caroline and Veronique, taking more and more responsibility. The wines are made by Veronique and the estate produces five, sometimes six Chateuneuf-du-Pape, a solid Vasqueyras, and a Cotes du Rhone. For the most part, the wines are traditional in style and age gracefully” Jeb Dunnuck.
This may be a modest Cotes-du-Rhone, yet it shows its Chateauneuf-du-Pape heritage in the glass with purity, elegance and beautiful expression. Aromas of earthy red fruits and generous in the mouth with savory richness that cascades through peppery finish. A great wine for hearty food pairings and strong cheeses.
