Mourchon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2020
Click link to order. Limited offer (while supply lasts).
Domaine de Mourchon, founded by the McKinlay family in 1998, is based in the southern Rhône village of Séguret. They craft their Châteauneuf-du-Pape from 60-80-year-old grapes grown in sandy parcels in the esteemed La Crau lieu-dit. It is a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah. The majority (70%) of this wine aged in demi-muid barrels for 12 months, while a portion rested in concrete vats. Mourchon’s Châteauneuf possesses a medium ruby hue with harmonious scents of ripe red fruits accented by spice. The palate is rich and elegant with a touch of oak. Enjoy solidly ripe and fleshy layers of black cherries, cassis, plums, and licorice on a medium body with velvety tannins. It has well-defined length lifted with balanced freshness. This is a terrific value for drinking now or cellaring for a few years.
