Selected Best Wine - Spring 2018

by David Furer David Furer

2015 Dom De Marcoux Vieilles Vignes

Grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape France

Average Price: $139.99 - $144.99

Selected by Patrick Schmitt MW of the UK's The Drinks Business for a Grenache masterclass, it explodes with aromas of red berries and clove, has a palate too complex to whittle down to a paucity of superlatives, its superfine tannins supporting a long, layered finish hinting of fig and sautéed mushrooms. A touch of Mourvèdre is scattered within de Marcoux's 7 acres of Grenache planted approximately 70yrs. ago, all grown organically since 1991. Savor it with an old, hard cheese shaved finely.
