The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes Marcoux 2007 is an old-vine red blend primarily crafted from Grenache, alongside smaller proportions of Mourvèdre and Syrah. This vintage features grapes sourced from century-old vines, resulting in concentrated flavours and complexity. On the palate, it displays a robust structure with substantial tannins and balanced acidity. Marcoux remains a family-owned estate committed to organic farming, reflecting a dedication to sustainable viticulture. This wine requires further ageing for optimal expression, with a potential cellaring window exceeding two decades.
