DESCRIPTION
The Privilège cuvée from Château Maucoil reveals the complex identity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroirs. Made from the 13 grape varieties of the appellation - Grenache (50%), Syrah (15%), Mourvèdre (12%), Cinsault (8%), Clairette, Bourboulenc (5%), Vaccarèse, Muscardin and others - this cuvée expresses a return to the origins of traditional winemaking. The grapes come from a plot of old vines with a yield of around 15 hl/ha, hand-harvested with meticulous berry-by-berry sorting.
On the nose, powerful and highly complex, one discovers sweet spices, ripe fruits, Russian leather and garrigue. On the palate, it is spherical and full-bodied, with weathered tannins and a finish of roasted tonka bean. The whole reveals a beautiful freshness that supports the aromatic intensity.
Serve between 17-18°C. Decanting an hour before serving is recommended so the wine continues to open throughout your meal. Perfect with festive dishes and special occasions: leg of lamb, Provençal stew or aged cheese platter. Aging potential: 10 to 15 years.

REGION
Rhône
France
Berceau historique de la viticulture française, le Rhône s’étend de Lyon à la Provence et abrite plus de 5000 domaines. Au nord, les coteaux escarpés produisent des Syrah d’une intensité rare (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage) et des blancs d’exception comme le Condrieu, issu du Viognier. Plus au sud, la diversité des terroirs – galets roulés, sables, coteaux – donne naissance à des rouges puissants et généreux (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas) à base de Grenache, Mourvèdre et Syrah. Haut-lieu de gastronomie, la région offre une infinité d’accords mets-vins inoubliables.
