Domaine de la Charbonniere

Domaine de la Charbonniere is a traditional Chateauneuf-du-Pape estate managed by the Maret family, farming approximately 18 hectares across the appellation's diverse terroirs including galets roules, sand, clay, and limestone. The domaine produces several single-terroir cuvees, drawing on Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah planted across different zones. Les Hautes Brusquieres, from old-vine Grenache on sand and galets, averages $53 across 58 auction lots; Mourre des Perdrix averages $45 across 47 lots; Vieilles Vignes (from ancient, ungrafted Grenache estimated at 100+ years) averages $49 across 35 lots. At auction, 140 lots have traded at an average of $49, ranging from $12 to $122. The prices are modest for quality Chateauneuf-du-Pape, reflecting Charbonniere's position as a respected but not trophy-tier estate. Wine Advocate has scored the estate's top cuvees in the 93-96 range.

Domaine de la Charbonniere farms approximately 18 hectares across multiple Chateauneuf-du-Pape terroir zones — galets roules, sand, clay, and limestone — reflected in distinct single-terroir cuvees.
Vieilles Vignes is produced from ungrafted Grenache vines estimated at over 100 years old; despite this pedigree, it averages only $49 at auction, representing exceptional value at this quality level.
140 lots average $49 — modest for quality CdP — making Charbonniere a reliable auction source for traditional Grenache-dominant southern Rhone at below-appellation-average pricing.
Les Hautes Brusquieres (58 lots, avg $53) and Mourre des Perdrix (47 lots, avg $45) regularly score 92-96 from Wine Advocate.

In the Glass

Traditional Chateauneuf-du-Pape from Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah: ripe raspberry, kirsch, dried lavender, garrigue, and a distinctive galets-roules warmth. Mourre des Perdrix adds more concentrated dark fruit and tannin from Mourvedre-influenced parcels. Vieilles Vignes shows the silky, lifted character of ancient ungrafted Grenache — complex and perfumed rather than powerful. The house style emphasizes traditional balance over modern extraction.
