Château Maucoil, Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Privilège' 2018
DESCRIPTION
This cuvé is made with the oldest vines of the estate, planted with the 13 grape varieties of Chateauneuf du Pape. This wine has a powerful and extremely complex nose with fine notes of spices, fruit, black olive and garrigue. The palate is concentrated, the tannins have a patina and the exceptional length in the mouth is full of spices and black fruits. It will accompany meat dishes served on special occasions.
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.

A lot of elegance for such a sunny wine. The saline finish gives it drive.
