CôTES-DU-RHôNE VILLAGES 'TRADITION' 2007, DOMAINE MOURCHON

TASTING NOTES

'Scotsman Walter McKinlay, who makes wine near Séguret, was one of the grenache symposium's organisers. His passion for the grape shines through in this fine Côtes-du-Rhône (65 per cent grenache, the balance syrah and carignan), brimming with warm, sweet fruit and supple tannins. His superb Grande Réserve 2007, also 65 per cent grenache, is yet bigger and richer ... Another fantastic effort from Domaine Mourchon, this Côtes-du-Rhône Villages is full-bodied, deliciously juicy, with excellent balance and and a lovely smooth mouthfeel.'

PRODUCER NOTES

'This is the best estate today in Séguret, and they continue to take the quality of their Côtes-du-Rhône to an exciting level. They are gorgeously made, pure, rich, beautifully textured, savoury, and everything a wine in Provence should be.'.
Robert Parker
The Wine Advocate

Set in a secluded valley between the picturesque village of Séguret and Mont Ventoux, Domaine de Mourchon was established by the McKinlay family in 1998 with the purchase of 17 hectares of mature vines. Constructed to the highest modern standards, the new winery was completed in 2000.

The terraced hillside vineyard is predominately clay and grey limestone which, combined with its microclimate, gives this location a terroir of unique quality. Careful use of natural and organic techniques, in conjunction with combined traditional and modern methods of vinification, result in a well-structured wine with pronounced fruit aromas and strong colours.
