Producer Description

Domaine de la Charbonnière was bought by Eugène Maret in 1912 to please his wife, native from Chateauneuf du Pape and winemaker's daughter of the appellation. Fernand Maret, their son, inherited a part of the estate and enlarged it at the birth of the next generation, Michel.
Today, they have: • 19 hectares 50 spread out on Châteauneuf du Pape appellation.
Under the benevolent eye of their parents, the 4th generation dedicates themselves to the vine culture until the wines making. In respect of family traditions, they continue the work of plot selection set up by their father, of reasoned and sustainable culture to produce complex and elegant wines. Today, all wines are vinified and aging by Véronique; even if her father is still around during the Vinification season. Each vintage is unique because soils and climate conditions determine wines' character.
