Domaine de Marcoux
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
A mid lemon gold in colour. Notes of quince and freshly cut pineapple on the nose. The medium to full bodied palate is luscious and unctuous with notes of apricot. Delicious is an overused descriptor with wine but this IS Delicious. I love Rhone Whites. 67% Roussanne; 33% Bourboulenc from the excellent 2016 vintage in CdP.

Producer over vintage everytime. Diffcult year but given the mildew and heat they’ve managed to make this textural, clean, and wholesome white that speaks to the tradition so well. Perhaps lacking some depth of the top vintages of CNDP white, this is perfect for the table, working wonders with tomato and fennel pasta to roasted trout with fall vegetables. Orchard fruits, ripe citrus, Pernod, nuts, white and yellow flowers, almond cream, herbs, pebbles, parsnip and white pepper. Lovely viscosity and phenolic grip here.

My palate has become unaccustomed to 15.5%a wines. The nose is very concentrated with earthy black fruit. The ripeness of the wine leans toward dried fruits.
