Domaine Mourchon Wine
The address 'La Grande Montagne, Seguret' does not fully convey the drama of the site bought by Walter McKinlay, a Scot who sold his IT business at retirement age to live the wine dream. Mourchon perches on the mountain top. A daring move - especially when there was no cellar, a house with only one wall and a new owner with no experience of wine production.
Assured that the limestone/ clay/ sandstone terroir was worthwhile, McKinlay bought 17 hectares of vineyard, wedged a smart gravity-flow cellar into the house, besides adding another for his daughter Kate and her husband Hugo Levingstone - the generation who will take Mourchon forward. The Cotes du Rhone 'Grande Reserve' is a superb blend of 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah, aged in barrique for 12 months and bottled with very minimal filtration.

The top cuvee for most vintages is the Grande Reserve, which is often a blend of about 55% Grenache and the rest Syrah. Yields are very small, in the 20-25 hectoliters per hectare range. The 2005 is stunning, inky bluish/purple to the rim, with a beautiful nos... [more details]
