Charvin Charvin Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2001 DEMI

At the peak of maturity, this elegant, refined, silky, vibrant wine is packed with peppery, spicy, perfectly ripe, sweet, fresh strawberry, cherry and black raspberries with flowers, herbs and a touch of chocolate on the nose and palate. I love this style of wine. No decanting warranted. 95 Points" - 95/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Wine Advocate

More open and exuberant than the 2000, with a sweeter core of fruit, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape tastes like the essence of this region, with its garrigue, leather, ground herbs and sweet, licorice-laced blackberry fruit. It too is medium to full-bodied, balanced and beautifully textured on the palate, with a mature, yet still youthful profile that’s perfect for prime- time drinking over the coming 2-4 years.
