Charvin, Rhone Valley, France
Made from 35-40yr old vines. Predominately grenache based, unfiltered and minimal sprays it is a very natural wine that is a star with food. This cant come more highly recommended and if you havent experienced the brilliance of old vine grenache then this is the benchmark. "As usual, Charvin's 2007 Cotes du Rhone Le Poutet, a blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 5% Carignan, is one of the more attractive wines of this broad appellation. It exhibits an elegant black cherry, spring flower, loamy soil, garrigue, and spice-scented wine that should drink well for 3-4 years." Robert Parker.
