Marcoux Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes 1998

The Winery

Domaine de Marcoux

Domaine de Marcoux is a wine produce located in the noteworthy French wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The roots of the estate date back to the year 1000 which is before the appellation got its name, making the owners of Domaine de Marcoux one of the oldest families in Southern Rhone. Winemaking did not begin for the family until the late 1900s, and they released their first vintage in 1989. The domaine produces three red Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines and two white Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines as well as wines from Cotes du Rhone and Lirac, and pride themselves on their old vines and biodynamic farming methods.

Tasting Notes

WA99
Another blockbuster, and probably the greatest wine in the lineup drinking at point, the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a full-bodied, hedonistic and decadent powerhouse that offers incredible notes of garrigue, cured meats, chocolate, dried spice and layers of ripe red and black fruits. It opens up beautifully with time in the glass, has no hard edges, a silky, seamless texture and a finish that just won`t quit. Bravo!
