Rabasse Charavin CDR Villages By Couturier 2019

Rabasse Charavin CDR Villages by Couturier 2019 is a characterful Rhône red that brings together Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre in a classic southern French blend. It reflects the domaine’s long family heritage, with roots dating back to 1880, and offers the kind of depth and authenticity that make Rhône village wines so appealing.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage is typically deep ruby with a youthful, polished edge. The nose leans toward ripe dark berries, plum, garrigue herbs, and a hint of peppery spice, with the Mourvèdre adding savory complexity and the Syrah bringing a subtle floral lift. On the palate, expect a warm, supple mouthfeel with generous fruit, Mediterranean herb tones, and a balanced structure that gives the wine shape without feeling rigid. Grenache provides richness and roundness, while the blend’s spice and tannin support a finish that is both satisfying and food-friendly. It should drink well now and can develop further complexity over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from the Rhône, this wine comes from a region known for its sun-drenched vineyards, stony soils, and dry Mediterranean climate, all of which help produce ripe, expressive reds. Rabasse Charavin’s estate has expanded over generations, with vineyards in several village-level areas, and the winemaking tradition is rooted in careful family management and a steady focus on quality. Vinification is aimed at preserving fruit purity, regional character, and the natural balance of the blend.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled lamb, roast chicken with herbs, ratatouille, beef stew, or mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and if opened young, a short decant of 30–60 minutes can help the aromatics open up and soften the tannins.

Producer
Domaine Rabasse Charavin is a family-run estate whose story began in 1880, when François Rabasse acquired the original cabin and surrounding vines near Cairanne. Over time, the domaine passed through generations, expanded through family marriages and vineyard purchases, and today is guided by Laure Couturier. The estate is well respected in the Rhône for its steady growth, regional authenticity, and award-winning wines, and the newly built cellar reflects its continued commitment to quality.
