The Esprit from Maucoil is a labour of love, produced with the 13 grape varieties of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Clairette, Bourboulenc, etc. This blend is produced with the oldest vines in the vineyard (70 years old on average) and from only the most exceptional vintages.

The bouquet’s aromas are quite intense. Notes of kirsch and strawberry jam are elevated by a hint of toast, giving the wine its complexity. On the palate, the tannins are polished and a cool taste highlights the black fruit and shrubland flavours. Ample and rich, this wine has an exceptional ageing potential (up to 15 years depending on the vintage). This wine pairs well with steak with a peppercorn sauce, couscous, or shrimp skewers.
