About The Producer
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.
