2022 Domaine de la Charbonnière Côtes du RhôneGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
3/13/2024 - Metalhorns wrote: 87 pointsHeavy leather, oak, soil and red fruit on the nose. Ripe cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate, butter and baking spice on the palate. Starts out really juicy, with soft tannins and a medium body that moves towards a long and markedly dry finish. This nice bit of textural contrast adds depth to a rather oily, funky drinking experience. At hardly two years old, it certainly tastes young, but it's still a good value Côtes du Rhône option. |

1/30/2019 - Zazzaman Likes this wine: 88 pointsBought from the South of France experts Mike and Liz Berry (Vins Fine de la Crau) five years ago. An enjoyable drink to taste with cassis mint and black pepper, now less sweet but with a silky richness, with the Grenache showing well. Not overly complex but a good value pleasure. For the price 18/20, against all Rhône wines 14/20 |

9/18/2018 - Jeff Leve wrote: 95 pointsThe depth of flavor is even more noticeable than the dark color the wine is concentrated, full bodied and intense. Spicy, meaty, smoky, with layers of peppered black raspberries at every turn, give this time in the cellar for the Syrah to further develop and the tannins will soften as well. This should age nicely. The wine was produced using a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. |

8/2/2019 - PSPatrick wrote: 92 pointsSouthern Rhône trip with Rainer. Tasted at the Domaine, with knowledgeable Véronique. From what I recall, the blend is roughly 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah. €45. Slightly reductive nose. Red and black fruit, coffee, herbal notes and spices, with good, supporting acidity, lots of fine, ripe and superb length. Impressive structure. Very precise winemaking. Great stuff! More accessible than the very structured 2015. I bought a few bottles. 92+ for now, with lots of potential. |

10/26/2019 - no oak Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis wine is a ferocious monster that all but roars at you as the wine hits your palate. If you are a lover of CDP, then go ahead and try it. Otherwise, don't bother. At this point, it's a closed down rustic behemoth that offers little complexity. However, all of the requisite components are there so I think this wine has tremendous potential to be an old-school beauty. My score is based on potential rather than how it's showing at the moment. |

5/17/2020 - apple1813 wrote: 94 points2016 Domaine de la Charbonnière Cuvée Spéciale Les Hautes Brusquières was evolving and intensely flavored, while retaining vital freshness and balance. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape was clear and medium ruby in colour without any sediments. It took two hours of aeration to open up complex aromatics of violets, ripe dark cherries, lavender, liqourice and toffee. With five hours, notes of blackberries, herbs, smoke and wet stones intensified. |

12/24/2020 - apple1813 Likes this wine: 94 pointsI initially planned to hold on to this bottle for an additional year or two, as I uncorked my first bottle in May 2020. Because my landlord's son is going to leave the city shortly after Christmas, and his favourite wine region is Southern Rhône, I had an excuse to commit another infanticide. |

3/27/2021 - Ara Kafafian Likes this wine: 93 pointsBlind, medium ruby, overly sweet entry, light to medium body notes of spiced cherries, powerful for the color. Slightly alcoholic (16% alc.) ending on a menthol and long-lasting finish. A great Châteauneuf-du-Pap, not amongst the top I have had for the vintage and definitely not worth the $80 CAD price tag. Drink by 2030. |

Bouche puissante d’un jeune vin sudiste fringant, mûr et gourmand, d’une rondeur voluptueuse qui cache les tanins sous une tonne de petits fruits rouges et noirs. Il emplit la bouche et se montre Très savoureux, long et bien proportionné, tout bonnement délicieux en mode « bombe de fruit ». Pas un style pour le palais bourguignon de ma blonde, mais c’est une sacré belle bouteille de Chateauneuf du Pape. 93+ pts |

8/25/2021 - samatoid wrote: 95 pointsDon't pay too much attention to my rating - it is a guess. This wine is young and sappy, but not really ready to drink unless you want young Grenache/Syrah (it can be pleasurable sometimes if you are looking for loads flavor and alcohol - like at a fancy barbecue). I am expecting the sweetness to wain over time which should make it very interesting. In any case, this is a very good wine with a good future - the flavors are great right now. I'll wait at least 5 years before I try my next one - the only reason I tried it now was because I moved my wine collection to storage and this was the only case I missed. It was buried under a pile of discarded boxes! |

9/11/2021 - gsomers Likes this wine: 95 pointsOutstanding Châteauneuf-du-Pape! At $69, outstanding QPR for our taste. One hour decant allowed it time to open, revealing layers of flavor and a great finish. Plan to pick up some additional bottles and hold for a few years after reading a recent comment. We've had at least a dozen different CdP and this was by far the most complex, interesting, and flavorful one we've found. Decided to spend a few more dollars than we usually would for Rhone and it paid off in spades. Plan to try some other vintages of this same wine too. |

9/5/2021 - brouigu1 Likes this wine: 94 pointsOpen and a brief decant and surprisingly that was all it needed to shine. Dark berries, plum and botanicals on the nose. Medium+ in body with rich flavors and red fruits, black pepper and a finish that was lasting with a spice and herbal hint. An outstanding CdP especially for the price. |

4/20/2023 - Scottwhipp Likes this wine: 94 pointsBlackberry along with floral (lavender) and herbal (thyme) elements on the nose. Big, dark and somewhat brooding on the palate, with flavors of blackberry, ripe mission fig with some garigue on the back palate. Nice juicy refined tannins on the finish. Has moderate sediments in the end of the bottle, revealing nice progression in aging. Drinking nicely now, but I suspect another 2-4 years of aging will refine this to perfection. |
