Eugène Maret bought Domaine de la Charbonnière in 1912, and the family still runs it today. Michel Maret built its reputation, and his daughters now lead the estate: Véronique in the vineyards and Caroline on the business side. Mourre des Perdrix (“partridge mound”) is a vineyard the family owns almost entirely, on sandy clay soils just behind the domaine. It’s a Grenache-led blend with Syrah, Mourvèdre and a touch of Cinsault, made from low yields, aged in wood and bottled unfiltered. With fifteen years of age, the 2010 is drinking beautifully now. Expect dried flowers, black raspberry, kirsch and sweet cherry, with garrigue, warm earth and spice box. The palate is medium to full, fine and silky, with polished tannins and a long, elegant finish. Great with roast lamb, game birds or a classic daube.

"A big step up and the best vintage of this cuvee I’ve tasted to date, the 2010 Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Mourre des Perdrix is a knockout effort! A blend of 69% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 1% Cinsault that is aged in wooden tanks, it boasts a decidedly mineral-driven bouquet of sweet cherries, kirsch liqueur, rolled stones, garrigue, and spice-box that has both complexity and intensity. This full-bodied, powerful, yet elegant wine has a gorgeous texture, excellent acidity, and very fine tannin that emerge on, and frame, the finish. Classically proportioned, with a traditional feel, this brilliant 2010 will drink well for 15-20 years."
