Since this estate was acquired by Carol Mainome-Arnaud, a member of the famous Arnaud family (owners of Chateau Cabrieres), the wines have taken a step up in quality. The excellent 1993 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Suzeraine offers a healthy deep ruby/purple color, and sweet, pure, black-cherry fruit intermixed with scents of herbs and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with fine depth, a soft attack, and a spicy finish, this wine can be drunk now as well as over the next 6-7 years. It appears Chateau Maucoil is an estate worth reconsidering.
