Organic wine - production, Domaine de Marcoux, Châteauneuf du Pape, white

The following grape varieties are permitted for the production of the white Châteauneuf du Pape: Roussanne, Grenache blanc, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Clairette and Picardan.

For this vintage, Rousanne grapes were used, grown on half a hectare of the vine-yard "les esqueirons". which were planted in 1987 on the western slope of the
village hill. The Bourboulenc grapes come from the "les bousquets" vineyard. Some Clairette and Grenache Blanc grapes come from several scattered small plots, but they make up only 2% of the total.

The soils in the vineyards consist of clay, colluvium and chalk lime from the Barremic period.

The harvest is done manually in boxes of 50 kg. In the cellar, the grapes are pressed immediately, the juice is poured into stainless steel tanks, cooled so that the
solids settle and can be removed. The alcoholic fermentation can finally start with natural yeasts at a control of the temperatures around 17 ° C. As soon as the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the coarse yeasts are removed and the wine continues to mature on the fine lees lees in stainless steel tanks and vats. After about 7 months it is bottled.
