Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 in magnum shows the vintage’s fresh, lifted side, with ripe cherry and berry fruit framed by garrigue, pepper, and savory herbs. It’s medium-full rather than heavy, with silky tannins and a supple, balanced feel that should make it approachable now while still rewarding short-term cellaring. The style is more about purity, perfume, and finesse than power, and it can call to mind a more polished, elegant Southern Rhône than a brooding blockbuster. Drink it slightly cool with roast lamb, herbed game birds, or a mushroom and thyme tart.
