Laurent Charvin showed me the vines just outside his cellar door, noting that there was virtually no difference between those that lie within the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation and those that are designated as Cotes du Rhone, "and not even Cotes du Rhone-Villages!" He told me that since the winemaking style here "is simple and direct, with almost all grenache and no wood, there's more time to work in the vines, which is where everything happens in the first place." Charvin is far more animated when he's talking vineyards than when discussing winemaking. "There aren't really a lot of discoveries to be made in the cellar except for style preferences, but vineyard work is incredibly complex and every vintage has a different story to tell."
