Château Maucoil, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Rouge 2022
DESCRIPTION
Its proximity to the Chateauneuf du Pape vineyards and the similarity of its terroir, a mixture of sand and pebbles, as well as the old vines from which it is made, give this Côtes du Rhône Villages great concentration and character. The Côtes du Rhône Villages reveals an aromatic and rich nose of black fruits and a good concentration, ample and solid with a good length in the palate. This wine is ideal with grilled meat or cheese.
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.
