The less expensive group of Marcoux wines includes a very good pleasure wine, the 2006 Cotes du Rhone which offers soft berry fruit, pepper, spice, and earth. Elegant and medium-bodied, it is best consumed during its first 2-3 years of life. This brilliant estate in the northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape is admirably run by Sophie and Catherine Armenier.Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
