The 2024 is a fresh

and the kind of poised

gaining depth and honeyed complexity with age

which protects the wine from oxygen and gives Fino its pale color

Domaine de Marcoux, Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, 2010 SpecialSkurnikRieslingOffer and screaming with high-toned fruitIf you're cellaring one Chateauneuf, make it this. Domaine de Marcoux, run by the Armenier sisters, was a biodynamic pioneer in the southern Rhone and has long been one of the appellation's benchmark estates, farming organically since 1991. The Vieilles Vignes bottling comes from their oldest Grenache vines, and 2010 is the vintage built to last: structured, pure, and deep, a wine some describe as built like a skyscraper. It's drinking beautifully now
