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
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.
