Domaine Charvin A Cote is a highly regarded wine producer located in the southern Rhône Valley of France. The estate is situated in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The vineyards are characterized by their stony soils and old vines, which produce low yields of intensely flavored fruit. The winemaking process is traditional, with a focus on minimal intervention to allow the grapes to express their unique characteristics. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of red fruit, spice, and earthy notes, with a velvety texture and long finish.

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
