Marcoux Estate
Located in Orange on the mythical terroir of the galets roulés of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Marcoux estate on 18 hectares of vines is run until 2019 by the Armenier sisters, Catherine and Sophie, one in the vineyard, the other in the cellar. Now that Catherine has retired, Sophie Armenier continues the adventure as a family, alongside her son Vincent Estevenin, who has been with the estate since 2014. 

Committed to a certified organic approach since 1991, Domaine de Marcoux follows the precepts of biodynamic viticulture by applying biodynamic preparations (horn dung, silica, dung compost, herbal teas...). A judicious choice which, year after year, enables the wines to express all the richness of an exceptional terroir. 

Domaine de Marcoux is one of the most important names in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with its terroir-driven, no-nonsense, fair and profound wines, and "a leader in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation" (RVF).

"A benchmark for the appellation, combining complexity and elegance".

"We love this beautifully sized Châteauneuf, which combines full ripeness with fresh fruit. The nose sparkles with dark berry and spice notes. The fruit is not cooked, but goes through a very pleasant primary phase. On the palate, the juice is full and dense, with fine tannins lining the palate without harshness. The structure is just right, giving the necessary relief to stand up to this level of richness". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

This rare white, only 6% in Châteauneuf, is built on a base of Roussanne (69%) complemented by Bourboulenc, Clairette and Grenache blanc. Ripe white fruit aromas mingle in the glass with hints of fresh spices. The palate is unctuous, punctuated by hints of vanilla, freshness and minerality, providing just the right balance. A sublime white Châteauneuf-du-Pape!

"Grenaches Centenaires

"Impressively deep in color for the vintage, the wine is extremely round, fresh, clear and well-defined. The tannins are present and quite strict in style, but they're ripe, and overall it's exceptionally promising. It's not huge in terms of fruit or body, but it's well-balanced and precise. It comes from 120-year-old vines planted on north-facing clay-and-sand lieux-dits in Charbonnières and Esquières." (Decanter 2021)

"More than just a Côtes du Rhône!

"A palette of dark berries and spices, more typical of Grenache with its core. The nose is southern but not excessive. The palate is poised, rather infused for a wine with this richness, but the whole is correct." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF). In a spirit much closer to a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a cuvée of pure pleasure at an affordable price!
