The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape—80% Grenache, with small amounts of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault—features complex aromas of crushed stone, garrigue, licorice and ripe cherries. It's full-bodied but also lively and zesty, firm across the mid-palate, then softly dusty on the lingering finish.

Vibrant black cherries, mulberries, peppery herbs, and spice are just some of the nuances in the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, an utterly classic Châteauneuf du Pape that's medium to full-bodied, has the vintage's seamless profile, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This beautiful, quintessential effort can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years or more. The 2020 is a normal blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 7% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault, brought up mostly in concrete tank, but with 20% in tronconique tanks and 5% in old barrels.

A dark, bold style that features black currant, cassis and plum puree coursing alongside warm earth, black pepper, tobacco and steeped tea. Spicy tannins take hold on the finish, with a whiff of tar and smoke. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Best from 2025 through 2032. 2,600 cases made, 500 cases imported.

The Estate

Domaine de Marcoux is a respected estate located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in France's Southern Rhône Valley. The domaine has been in the Armenier family for generations, with sisters Catherine and Sophie Armenier taking over the reins in 1990. They were pioneers in biodynamic viticulture, converting the estate to this practice in 1991, making Domaine de Marcoux one of the first in the region to do so. The estate is known for producing wines of exceptional purity and elegance, with a focus on expressing the unique terroir of their vineyards.

Biodynamic Balance Conquers Heat

At Marcoux's biodynamically-farmed parcels, the 2020 season began early and remained warm throughout, with the estate's old vines and varied terroirs proving crucial for balance. The different soil types across their holdings, from the sandy soils of Charbonnières to the galets roulés of Crau, helped maintain freshness during the intense summer heat. Sophie and Catherine Armenier's practiced hand with warm vintages resulted in wines that capture both power and Marcoux's signature elegance.

Marcoux's Triumph of Finesse

The 2021 growing season in Châteauneuf-du-Pape was marked by spring frosts, a cool summer, and rain during harvest. At Domaine de Marcoux, meticulous vineyard management and strict selection were crucial. The biodynamic practices of the estate helped maintain vine health, resulting in a wine that, while lighter than some years, beautifully expresses the freshness and aromatic complexity of the vintage.
