Domaine de Marcoux - Côtes du Rhône 2019
89/100
RVF
“More than just a Côtes du Rhône!”
“A palette of black berries and spices, with a more typical Grenache character and a hint of stone fruit. The nose has a southern flair but without excess. The palate is composed, with a rather mellow profile for a wine of this richness, but the overall impression is solid. ” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). Much closer in style to a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this is a cuvée of pure pleasure at an affordable price!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2026 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
A historic landmark of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this iconic estate was long led by the Armenier sisters, who elevated it to the pinnacle of the appellation. Today, it is Vincent Estevin, Sophie’s son, who carries on the family legacy with the same high standards. Biodynamics remains at the heart of the approach, with meticulous care given to every plot in the vineyard. The range is centered around four cuvées: a fresh Côtes-du-Rhône, a full-bodied and structured white, and two reds with strong personalities. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée impresses with its restrained power and masterful balance, while the Tradition cuvée continues to stand as the flagship of this exemplary estate, which shines through the precision, depth, and energy of these great terroir wines.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the wine:
A profile of black berries and spices, with a more typical Grenache character and a hint of stone fruit. The nose has a southern flair but without being overpowering. The palate is composed, with a rather mellow character for a wine of this richness, but overall it’s well-balanced.
About the estate:
Led by Sophie Armenier and Vincent Estevenin, the Marcoux estate has established itself at the pinnacle of the appellation. The wines possess a rare naturalness and depth, along with an energy and power on the palate that rely on no artificial aging techniques. These great classic wines, marked by the character of ripe Grenache, age beautifully. Despite high levels of ripeness, all the vintages have found their balance and appear less hot than in the past; they have gained in minerality and salinity.
