- Land: The estate spans 28 hectares, with 10 hectares inside the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The vineyards, featuring sandy, clay-based soils interspersed with iconic galets roulés, are cultivated organically, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the natural balance and health of the vines. The average vine age is 60 years, adding to the depth and complexity of the grapes produced on this storied land.
- Wine: The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Vaccarèse, and Syrah. This vintage continues the tradition of whole-cluster fermentation and is uniquely aged entirely in concrete tanks, a method chosen by Laurent Charvin to preserve the purity and nuanced profile of the fruit. This approach results in a wine of remarkable structure and elegance, highlighting the distinctive mineral and spicy character typical of the estate's exceptional terroir.
- People: Laurent Charvin, the sixth-generation custodian of the family estate, has been instrumental in both preserving and evolving traditional winemaking practices at Domaine Charvin. His dedication to organic viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking has set a standard in the appellation, earning the estate a prestigious 3-star rating by the RVF Green Guide, alongside notable producers like Clos des Papes and Château Rayas. Laurent's influence extends beyond his vines, inspiring peers and commanding respect among France's top sommeliers and wine writers.
