A Rich History at Château Maucoil

Château Maucoil boasts a captivating history that dates back centuries, influenced by various settlers. The site first attracted Roman legions due to its natural spring and proximity to the Via Agrippa. In 1624, it became the residence of the Lord of Maucoil, who served as the archivist for the Orange Nassau family, the royal family of the Netherlands. Since then, generations of vintner families have nurtured the estate's legacy. The vineyard's cultivation practices trace back to the 17th century, with some vines planted in 1895 still thriving today.

Commitment to Biodynamic Practices

In 2022, Domaine Duseigneur, known for its biodynamic expertise, took over Château Maucoil with a mission to enhance its natural beauty while respecting the environment. Visitors are welcome to experience the estate through tastings and workshops, set against the stunning backdrop of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The unique terroir contributes to the exceptional quality of the wines produced here. The winery is open Monday to Saturday, including public holidays, and on Sundays by reservation, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

As a simple amateur, all the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape seem excellent to me and are very similar. So my 5 stars do not go to the quality of the different wines of the château but to the way we were received, to the course of the tasting, and to the place itself. It was perfect! This young Californian who took care of us deserves the 5 stars all by himself.

We went to taste the wines of the estate yesterday (December 6) and the experience was great: Vanessa welcomed us with great warmth, kindness and professionalism. The wines are very very good, and for us they are the best Châteauneuf of the appellation. THANK YOU and see you soon for a next order ...

Attention, no more parking spaces for motorhomes. The owners asked us to put this information here. Overnight stays are no longer permitted. However, she recommended a place 6 km away where large motorhomes are also allowed. Chateau Cabrieres, where we spent a quiet night on the private property and tried and bought wine in the morning.

A tasting and a private lunch with Chef Altmayer – what a gift! As for the wines, there is a selection of classic or modern Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines for all palates and Côtes du Rhône to discover without fail And lunch… I let you taste with your eyes while I wait to taste with your taste buds ... And the 5-star welcome and service… I recommend

We came to do a cooking class + tasting for my partner's birthday. It was a great time, Chef Altmayer, Vanessa and Marion allowed us to spend an exceptional day. I recommend this place with my eyes closed. Thank you!
