The rich, opulent side of Chateauneuf, done with finesse. Domaine de Marcoux, run by the Armenier sisters, was an early adopter of biodynamic practices in the southern Rhone (certified organic since 1991; biodynamic in practice, not Demeter-certified) and remains one of the appellation's benchmark estates, farming organically since 1991. Their Vieilles Vignes comes from old-vine Grenache, and 2015 was a warm, generous vintage that gave this wine deep, sappy, palate-staining fruit. What keeps it from tipping over is the estate's touch: juicy acidity and velvety tannins that hold all that power in balance. Approachable now, but built to reward a decade or more in the cellar.

"Lurid ruby. A heady, expressive bouquet evokes fresh raspberry, cherry compote, potpourri, licorice and Asian spices, while a bright mineral flourish builds in the glass. Sweet, palate-staining red fruit liqueur, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors show outstanding depth as well as vivacity thanks to a core of juicy acidity. Plays power off finesse with a deft hand and finishes incredibly long, sappy and pure; velvety tannins emerge very slowly. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this monumental wine turn out to be the star of the 2015 vintage in the Rhône Valley, south as well as north." —Josh Raynolds

"The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (about 97% Grenache) was entirely destemmed. According to Sophie Armenier, its alcohol level is a whopping 16+%, but it was completely concealed by the wine's intricate spice complexities. Licorice, cola, cinnamon, clove and allspice all interweave with cherries to form a silky web that glides across the palate and into a long, long finish." —Joe Czerwinski

"100% Grenache. Tank sample. Sample a bit tired on the nose and pretty fizzy on the palate. Difficult to judge at the moment. It’s hugely sweet and alcoholic! Some strawberry-jam notes. Very hot finish."

"Glistening, bright fruit aroma. Tasty, refined,sleek and wholesome palate: lovely finesse here."
