2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de Marcoux, Rhône

The beautiful, organic Châteauneuf-du-Pape has a fabulous aroma of wild strawberries; concentrated and sweet with a light edge of vanilla spice and a touch of mint. It initially evokes strawberry coulis but becomes restrained, the flavours transforming into a savoury, dry finish with a touch of sage. The tannins behave like tiny ball bearings – this is a deliciously succulent, gorgeous wine.
