The story of Maucoil Cotes Du Rhone

Château Maucoil sits just south of Orange in the southern Rhône, on the border with Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The estate dates back to 1624, when Joseph de la Pise, archivist to the Prince of Orange-Nassau, held the title of Lord of Maucoil. Since 2022 the property has been run by Jean-Philippe Girard.

The vineyards are farmed organically, and the estate makes certified organic wines while moving towards biodynamic practice. One parcel of very old vines, planted in 1895, still crops. Its Côtes du Rhône reds follow the southern Rhône pattern of Grenache leading a blend with Syrah and other local grapes.

In the glass expect red cherry and plum fruit, a touch of black pepper and a medium body, with soft tannins and a fresh finish. It is an easy red to pour at the table.

Serve it slightly cool, around 14 to 16 degrees, which keeps the fruit lively. It suits grilled lamb or beef rubbed with Provençal herbs, a game stew, pasta in a tomato sauce, or a plate of mild white-rind cheese.
