Château Maucoil, Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Tradition', Rouge 2020
DESCRIPTION
From the youngest vines at Château Maucoil, the Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 showcases the richness of the appellation’s three iconic terroirs: rolled pebbles, clay, and sand.
On the nose, it charms with ripe black fruits and delicate spicy notes. The palate is full and elegant, combining silky texture with freshness, already well-balanced and showing promising aging potential.
A wine of character—perfect with beef stew, mushroom risotto, or roast lamb. Certified organic, it embodies the refined style of Maucoil.
REGION
Rhône
France
The Rhône Valley is a historic cradle of French winemaking, stretching from Lyon to Provence and home to over 5,000 estates. In the north, steep hillsides yield intensely expressive Syrahs (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage) and outstanding whites like Condrieu, made from Viognier. Further south, the diversity of soils—rolled pebbles, sand, and slopes—gives rise to powerful, generous reds (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas) based on Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. A gastronomic heartland, the region offers endless unforgettable food and wine pairings.
