FEATURES
The 2011 Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a testament to the winery's commitment to biodynamic viticulture, a practice they pioneered in France. This vintage, like others from Marcoux, is known for its elegant and balanced profile, showcasing a beautiful purity of fruit. On the nose, red fruit notes prevail, accompanied by a slight woodiness. The palate reveals melted and elegant tannins, leading to an exceptional length. Over time, aromas of sous-bois, leather, or tobacco can evolve, adding complexity. The wine is a blend from several plots, with Bois de la Ville and les Serres providing concentration, Farguerol and Cansaud offering aromatic richness, and the chalk-rich soils of Cabrières and Revès contributing incredible structure. The Armenier sisters, Catherine and Sophie, have built a solid reputation for the quality of their wines, which possess rare depth and purity. 【Pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Châteauneuf-du-Pape】.
