About

Ratings:

90

"Ruby-red. Fresh red fruits and floral oils on the perfumed nose, brightened by a spicy element that carries through the palate to the finish. Silky and seamless in texture, with good lift and clarity to its spice-tinged raspberry and floral pastille flavors. In an elegant style, finishing with strong punch and smooth tannins." Reviewed January 2014

90 Wine Spectator

"Fresh and open, exhibiting pure cherry paste, plum sauce and linzer torte flavors, lined with subtle anise and singed balsam notes. A shiso leaf accent hangs on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 4,000 cases made." Reviewed November 2013

Product Description:

Charbonniere is one of our favorite Southern Rhone estates for value and character. In the third generation of the Maret family and transitioning to the fourth, Charbonniere has been family owned and operated since the early 1900s. No matter the hype or the press surrounding a wine (and this CDP earned two 90 point scores), the family strives toward the timeless goal of making pure, spirited wines. These are consistently the best values in the Southern Rhone.
