Château Maucoil is a 50-acre estate with a history that dates back to the Romans. Records indicate that the property served as barracks for Caesar’s armies, and that they drank wine produced from its vineyards. By the 17th century the property was known as Château Maucoil and had a reputation for producing excellent wine. In 1995 Château Maucoil was acquired by Guy and Danielle Arnaud. In 2009 the couple turned the management of the estate over to their daughter and son-in-law, Bénédicte Arnaud-Bonnet and Charles Bonnet. The estate grows all 13 grapes permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its soil is made up of small stone mixed with red clay. The estate makes red and white wine, including some wines in the Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation.
