Producer Information

Domaine de la Charbonnire is a family-owned wine estate situated just northeast of the town of Chteauneuf-du-Pape, particularly known for its Grenache-based red wines from that appellation. Current owners, the Maret family, trace their association with the property back to 1912, when Eugene Maret bought the estate as a gift for his wife. Michel Maret, who took over in 1973, gave the domaine its current name, reflecting its location an area formerly used for charcoal burning. His daughter Vronique Maret assumed full control of winemaking in 2012. The estate farms 19 hectares (47 acres) of small but well-sited vineyard parcels scattered throughout Chteauneuf-du-Pape. There are also nearly six hectares (14 acres) in Vacqueyras and two hectares (five acres) of vines in the Ctes du Rhne and IGP vineyard zones. Since 2015, all of Domaine de la Charbonnire’s wines have been certified organic. There are several different red Chteaneuf-du-Pape cuves in the portfolio. The standard release combines 70 percent Grenache with equal parts of Syrah and Mourvdre. Charbonnire makes around 4000 cases of this wine a year, which makes up the bulk of the domaine’s Chteauneuf-du-Pape production. Other labels include Mourre des Perdrix (combining Grenache, Mourvdre and Syrah with some Cinsault) which comes from a specific lieu-dit within Chteauneuf-du-Pape; while Hautes Brusquires is a 60:40 combination of Grenache and Syrah sometimes with a dash of Counoise from the Brusquires plateau. The domaine also produces a Vieilles Vignes label a Grenache-dominated blend with a small amount of Mourvdre, primarily from the La Crau vineyard site. Finally, l’Envol is a Mourvdre-based blend. Only a few hundred cases a year are made of each of these cuves. Domaine de la Charbonnire makes a small amount of white Chteauneuf-du-Pape from a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette. The grapes are primarily fermented in stainless steel with a small portion in new wood. A single Vacqueyras release (generally around 60 percent Grenache and 40 percent Syrah) as well as red and ros Ctes du Rhne wines (also a Grenache Syrah combination) complete the portfolio.
