The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes was matured entirely in concrete. It boasts lovely red plum-scented fruit and a broad mix of spices on the nose, followed by a full-bodied, supple, rich palate that hints at blueberries and licorice on the long, velvety finish. Although I didn’t detect any heat in these wines, I’d be cautious of aging them too long; once the fruit fades, the alcohol may become much more apparent.
Producer Information
Domaine de Marcoux is a historic wine estate based in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of France’s southern Rhône Valley. The estate produces a range of wines from both Châteauneuf itself as well as other, neighboring geographical designations including Lirac and the Côtes du Rhône. It also makes Vin de France wines from fruit grown in the area.The winery is located just north of Châteauneuf-de-Pape (but still within the production zone of the appellation) in southern Orange, not far from the high-profile Château de Beaucastel estate). Domaine de Marcoux is owned and run by the Armenier family, which can trace its roots in the region back to the 13th Century. The domaine produces two red wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, including the estate’s top Vieilles Vignes from 100-percent Grenache, and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. It also makes Cuvée La Lorentine from their La Lorentine estate directly across the Rhône river from Châteauneuf, in the commune of Saint Laurent des Arbres in Lirac, as well as a Côtes du Rhône from vineyards in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape area.
