Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc

Producer

Domaine de la Charbonnire has 12 hectares of prime vineyard in Chteauneuf-du-Pape and 4.5 hectares in Vacqueyras. This is a top quality domaine making rich, succulent wines of great style. Michel Maret has now handed over the running of the property to his daughters. Vronique is the winemaker and sister Caroline is in charge of the office. The wines have always been superb but there is a new fresh elegance.

There are four different cuves of Chteauneuf, each from different parcels of land. There is no destemming and vinification is traditional, in stainless steel and concrete vats, and open-top wooden fermenters. Elevage is in a mixture of new barriques, foudres and demi-muids.
