Marcoux is one of the legends, greatest producers of classically style Chateauneuf du Pape with family vineyards dating back to 1344. Average age of vines is over fifty years with ten acres of over ninety five year old vines. Biodynamic since 1990 and with six years in the bottle, this wine is starting to sing. I was raiding a wine warehouse and tasted this incredible Marcoux. Neuf lovers this wines blows the doors off.
94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Tasting Notes: "Medium red. Ripe red fruits and minerals on the nose; like a Burgundy in its aromatic profile. Very fresh and elegant, with precise strawberry and redcurrant flavors, impressive focus and a long, juicy finish. This is absolutely delicious now but has the balance for cellaring." (Jan/Feb 07) 92 points Wine Spectator: "Silky, perfumy style, with raspberry and red plum fruit carried by fine-grained tannins and backed by a tangy mineral note on the long, stylish finish. Should put on weight. Drink now through 2022." (11/06)
