One of the classics! We ADORE Marcoux! Domaine de Marcoux was a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming long before it was fashionable and produces wines of elegance and restraint, not qualities usually associated with CdP. The average vine age is 50 years old and they grow primarily Grenache in a variety of soil types and areas.

About The Producer

“Over the last 12 years, the biodynamically farmed vineyard has risen to the top of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s quality hierarchy. The two red wines produced have been stunning, with the regular cuvée of Châteauneuf-du-Pape one of the finest in the appellation, and the limited production Cuvée Vieilles Vignes one of the world’s truly magnificent wines.” Robert Parker

Domaine de Marcoux was a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming long before it was fashionable. They farm about 18 ha in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 8 ha in Lirac and a little over 2 ha just north of Chateauneuf where they make a lovely and nuanced Cotes-du-Rhône. They grow mainly Grenache, with an average vine age of 50 years old, with smaller amounts of Mourvedre, Syrah, Cinsault, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.

Reviews

Vinous
Raised mostly in concrete, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape features gentle strawberry-raspberry fruit and loads of subtle spice. It's medium to full-bodied, marked by silky tannins and a long finish. It's not the most powerful, concentrated wine, but it's certainly one of the most elegant. It's 85% Grenache, with the balance a mix of Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault.
