Domaine De Marcoux Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc 2020 750 ML

Eminently classic, full-bodied and rich, with flowing fresh mango and pear fruit. The alcohol is quite high, and contributes to the feeling of opulence. Slow moving in the mouth, there's enough acidity, however, and a good feeling of freshness. Deep, long, voluptuous style. Somehow finishes fresh and neat despite the richness. An embarrassment of richness in this bottle.\n \n Producer Information\n \n 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.
