2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de Marcoux, Rhône

Description

This has an intense red cherry coulis nose, brimming with cherry chocolate, exotic Persian spice and a lift of fresh garden sage. The palate is incredible, with hugely concentrated flavours of cherries and macerated raspberries which smother the senses. The dense, fine, chalky tannins resolve seamlessly and become liquid-smooth. This is a beautiful expression of incredible, ancient vines.

About this wine

Domaine de Marcoux

Sisters Sophie and Catherine Armenier have elevated Marcoux to the very highest ranks. Today, Sophie diligently runs the winery, while her son Vincent Estevenin looks after the vineyards. Now, there are 27 hectares split into over 20 parcels: 18 hectares lie right in the heart of the prime Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir of La Crau plateau. The remainder rest in Lirac and the other Côtes du Rhône villages. Certified as organic by Ecocert as early as 1991, this year marks four decades of rigorous organic and then biodynamic principles.
