Other vintages
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, the bulk of the production at Domaine de Marcoux, is sourced from 13 sites spread over a wide range of terroirs. This allows for a wine that is both dense but pure and lifted with beguiling aromatics. In general terms Marcoux is always inclined towards red-fruit flavors with a smoky stoniness that emerges with age.
Wine Advocate
- wa92
The superb 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits a dark plum/purple color along with sumptuous notes of melted licorice, blackberries, cassis, cherries, prunes, and raisins. Layered, with creme de cassis liqueur-like flavors, and moderate tannin lurking beneath the surface, this is a sexy, lush, fragrant 2000. Low acidity and sweet tannin suggest it can be enjoyed now and over the next 12-15 years.
Wine Enthusiast
- we91
This is a finely structured wine, blending red and black fruits, firm tannins and rich, sweet flavors. There is certainly power, but the essence of this wine is the intensity of the fruit and tannin.
Wine Spectator

A bit dilute, but has strawberry and licorice flavors, but turns tough and astringent on the finish. 2,080 cases made.
