Laurent Charvin's CDR carries the estate's characteristic elegance and mineral precision into an everyday format; lighter-framed but aromatic and precise.

What it pairs with

  • Roasted chicken with Provencal olives
    Fresh, elegant Grenache with high acidity is a natural with herb-roasted chicken.
  • Salade Nicoide with anchovies
    The wine's mineral freshness and red fruit work with the saltiness of anchovies.

History

Domaine Charvin's CDR is produced from organic Grenache planted on sandy-limestone soils outside the Chateauneuf appellation. It shares the estate's characteristic mineral precision at an accessible price.
