A very fine organic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, rich and concentrated yet with lovely balance and great elegance.
Château Maucoil's vineyards are located in the northwest of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape area (on the left bank of the River Rhône) on the appellation's four soil types: pebbles, clay-sandstone, Urgonian limestone and, more unusually, sand.
Made from organically-grown grapes, this very deeply-coloured red offers aromas of blackberries, dried fruit and dark roast coffee on the nose. Typically lifted and fresh despite its full body and intense colour, the palate has plush berry fruit, subtle savoury spice, and pleasantly grippy yet ripe tannins with a very long finish.
ABV 15%
