Domaine des Côteaux des Travers, Rasteau"Robert Charavin produces some of the best examples from this Rhône village which is now a candidate for its own appellation" (Wine Behind the Label)
The 13 hectare estate (9 in Rasteau, 4 in Cairanne) was established by Robert's grandfather Elie in 1931 although Charavins have been producing wine in Rasteau for over a century. The name of the estate, Côteaux des Travers, means "the side of the rising sun": vineyards are situated on hills with exceptional exposure to the sun. Wines are made from vines averaging 40 years cultivated traditionally with extremely limited use of herbicides. In recent years, a little more oak has been used in the ageing of the wines although in all but the top cuvées this is apparent more from the texture, not in the flavour of the bottled wine.
