Château Maucoil Chateauneuf du Pape – Tradition Red



Share

Chateauneuf du Pape AOC

Grape Varieties :

Grenache noir 60% – Syrah 15% – Mourvèdre 15% – Cinsault 10%

Vineyard :

Château Maucoil’s vineyards are located in the North West of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape area, on the left bank of the Rhône river. An ideal location that allows the estate to be entirely organic since 2011. The 4 grape varieties used in the wine are the youngest vines of the estate (40 years old in average) and grown on a sandy and urgonian soil with pebbles. The yield are low and harvesting carried out by hand.

Winemaking:

The grapes are sorted and go into concrete tanks, by grape variety and by parcel. After  30 days in vat, with pumping over, rack-and- return and punching down the cap, the wines is aged into vats and barrels previously used for one vintage, before being blended.

Tasting note: 

Deep ruby color revealing a fine nose of beautiful black fruit and spicy notes. Delightful and intense on the palate, with a lovely balance. From the moment it is bottled the wine offers a great elegance.

Food Pairing:

Decanting is advisable if the wine is opened young (under 5 years) and need to be served at 60°-62°. Delicious with beef stew or mushroom risotto. Can be laid down for up to 10 years.
