LAURENT CHARVIN 2025 Côtes du Rhône 75cl Rosé

Grape varieties: 75% Grenache Noir, 25% Cinsault

Terroir: Sandy slopes with clay soils and rounded pebbles, from the Maucoil vineyard site. Harvested on 28 August.

Vinification / Ageing: The grapes were co-fermented as whole bunches, with no destemming or settling, for around two weeks at approximately 19°C using their native yeasts. The wine was then aged exclusively in concrete tanks to preserve its freshness, no large oak casks or barrels were used. After racking, the rosé remained in tank throughout the winter, allowing for natural sedimentation.

Tasting notes: A truly irresistible rosé, bursting with ripe red berry flavours wrapped in delicate floral notes. Pure, vibrant and intensely expressive, it delights the palate with its freshness and charm.

🍷 Serving temperature: 9-10°C

One of our long-time favourites at the shop! Laurent Charvin crafts wines of remarkable finesse with precision and care. He took over the 13-hectare family estate near Orange in 1990, chose to vinify independently instead of through the local co-op, and quickly converted the vineyard to organic farming. From the start, he has worked in harmony with nature, lovingly tending to old Grenache vines for his top cuvée. In the cellar, you won’t find a single barrel, only concrete vats, where whole clusters gently macerate without destemming. Extraction is soft, allowing the wines to express both aromatic complexity and a rare finesse for the region. He produces wines under Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône, and IGP Principauté d’Orange, all offering incredible value. A true benchmark of the appellation.
