Château Maucoil Organic Côtes du Rhône Villages 2021

Château Maucoil has a long history stretching back to Roman times when the property was used as an army fortress for Caesar’s legions, and winegrowing is documented back to the construction of the surviving castle built in 1624, when the property was owned by the Dutch royal family.

The 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been tended organically since 2011, and in 2014 the entire estate gained biodynamic certification. A broad variety of grapes are grown across the vineyards, including the all thirteen permitted varietals for both red and white Châteauneuf du Pape, with some plots a century old. The estate also produces premium Côtes-du-Rhône.
