Domaine de Marcoux

Domaine de Marcoux is a French wine producer located in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The domaine's first vintage was in 1989 and the estate is owned by the Armeniers – a family with one of the oldest lineages in the Southern Rhône. The domaine produces two red wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, including the estate's top Vieilles Vignes from 100-percent Grenache, and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, as well as Cuvée La Lorentine from Lirac, and a Côtes du Rhône.

Domaine de Marcoux owns 17.5 hectares (43 acres) of vineyard land spread over 10 parcels. The sites are planted to classic Rhône varieties such as Grenache, Mouvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsaut ,with vines averaging 50 years old – some of the oldest are up to 100 years old. Around .85 ha (2 acres) is reserved for white grape varieties for the domaine's Blanc – a blend of Roussane and Bourboulenc.

Vineyards are farmed biodynamically and wines are vinified traditionally. Fruit is harvested by hand and a portion of the berries are destemmed and sorted before fermentation in vat. Wines are aged in a combination of concrete vats and large oak foudres for around 18 months.
