Armenier family (Sophie and Catherine Armenier; Vincent Estevenin joined 2014)

The Armenier family is among the oldest in Châteauneuf, recorded there since 1344; sisters Sophie and Catherine Armenier took over the domaine in 1995 and farm organically, with biodynamic practices, since 1991.

Marcoux's Chateauneuf is drawn from 13 parcels of vines, biodynamically farmed and dotted across the appellation, allowing a wine that genuinely reflects the Chateauneuf terroir as a whole. The domaine is run by Sophie Armenier and her son Vincent Estevenin.

Winemaker Notes

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, the bulk of the production at Domaine de Marcoux, is sourced from 13 sites spread over a wide range of terroirs. This allows for a wine that is both dense but pure and lifted with beguiling aromatics. In general terms Marcoux is always inclined towards red-fruit flavors with a smoky stoniness that emerges with age.

    This has power and poise, with garrigue, plum, licorice and raspberry expertly framed by a lot of mineral energy and graphite shavings. Refined and pure, with integration from start to finish. Some finely cut tannins maintain the focus and form. Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. 2,350 cases made, 500 cases imported.
