The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2017 from Domaine de Marcoux is a beautifully balanced wine, exuding vibrant red fruit, crushed flowers, and a touch of garrigue. Silky tannins and a lively freshness provide elegance, while hints of spice and earth add depth. In magnum format, this wine will continue to develop complexity and nuance over the years.
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.
