In a few words ...
The Armenier family has been present in Châteauneuf-du-Pape since 1344. In 1950, elie armenier took over the estate, cultivating 15 hectares of vines in châteauneuf du pape and selling his wine to wine merchants. Later, with his son, they created the domaine de marcoux brand. In 1988, sophie armenier joined the winegrowing family and, together, they decided to convert to organic viticulture, followed by biodynamic viticulture three years later. In 2005, catherine armenier joined her sister, and the two sisters expanded the family estate with a further ten hectares of vines, taking it to the top of the appellation. In 2015, sophie armenier's son joined the domaine de marcoux and now looks after the estate's vines. The terroir of Châteauneuf du Pape dates back to the Quaternary glaciations, when the Rhone migrated from east to west to reach its current position and form the high, wide terraces of the appellation.

Domaine de Marcoux
Domaine de Marcoux is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 6 wines available to purchase, including the wine La Lorentine 2020.
Appellation
Lirac
The appellation Lirac is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine de Marcoux and its 6 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
