Marcoux Cotes du Rhone 2021

This is essentially a baby Chateauneuf, sourced from two sites adjacent to the Chateauneuf-du-Pape border. The wine is primarily Grenache with small percentages of Mourvedre, Cinsault and Syrah added. The nose and palate give peppery, deep red fruits perfumed with fresh floral aromas. In the mouth, the wine is concentrated with a grainy grip and balanced with vibrancy and lift. An impressive effort here.
