Château Maucoil Côtes du Rhône Villages 2020 (France)

Description

• Blackberry
• Plum
• Rich & aromatic
• Good concentration

Strong ruby hue in the glass. Aromatic and rich with black fruit on the nose (blackberry and plum). Good concentration, broad and solid with lovely length on the palate.

Its proximity to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards and the similarity of its soil (a mixture of sand and pebbles), as well as the old vines from which it hails, gives this Côtes du Rhône Villages great concentration and loads of character.

Harvesting is carried out by hand and the grapes are transported in 15kg perforated crates. The grapes are sorted berry by berry before going into vat.

By grape variety and by parcel. After a fermentation period of around 25 days with pumping over, rack-and-return, and punching down operations, the wines are drawn off and then aged in vats until bottling. 

Food Pairing: Ideal with grilled meats or cow's cheeses.
