Château Maucoil - Châteauneuf du Pape Tradition rouge 2020
94/100
Wine Enthusiast
Grown on sandy soils with rounded pebbles, these are the estate’s youngest vines, yielding low harvests. The nose is quite delicate, revealing lovely notes of black fruit and spices, giving way to a charming, silky palate that is beautifully balanced. An elegant wine offering excellent value for money!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The partnership between the owner family and Maison Lavau makes it possible to fully exploit the potential of this terroir near Mont-Redon. All the wines are well-crafted, though the most recent vintages exhibit fairly pronounced aging characteristics.

About the estate:
An estate with ancient roots—the Romans stationed a legion there, and the Princes of Orange appointed their archivist—acquired by Guy Arnaud in 1995. His daughter Bénédicte and her husband Charles Bonnet, who took over in 2009, began the transition to organic farming for the 45 hectares of vineyards.
