Dom. Des 3 Cellier 2018 Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Marceau"
Only 2000 bottles were produced of this stunning wine whose origin is entirely in Terres Blanches. With its unusual basis in Mourvèdre (more even than Beaucastel), it is well-suited to its élevage in barriques and foudres, which serves to soften and bolster this famously robust variety. The wine is simultaneously succulent and firm, and has justifiably garnered some glowing reviews.
