Château Maucoil, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 'Tradition' 2020 MAGNUM
DESCRIPTION
The vineyard of Château Maucoil is located in the north-western part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape territory, on the left bank of the Rhône, and on the three terroirs of the appellation: the rolled pebble stone, the Hurgonians and the sands. This wine is made from the youngest vines on the estate, planted with four grape varieties on sandy and pebble soils. This wine has a very fine nose with superb black fruits and spicy notes. The palate is delicious and intense, with great balance and elegance right out of the bottle. The Tradition pairs perfectly with beef stew or a mushroom risotto.
REGION
Rhône
France
A historic cradle of French winemaking, the Rhône stretches from Lyon to Provence and is home to over 5,000 estates. In the north, steep slopes produce Syrah of rare intensity (Côte Rôtie, Hermitage) and exceptional whites such as Condrieu, made from Viognier. Further south, the diversity of terroirs (rounded pebbles, sand, slopes) gives powerful, generous reds (Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas) based on Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. A great place for gastronomy, the region offers endless unforgettable food and wine pairings.
