Tasting Notes
65 % Grenache Blanc and 35 % Clairette approx; from the plateau, settled and cool-fermented at 14° in a mix of new and second-use 360 litre barrels and 220 litre glass Wineglobes (15 %). ‘Coming from 100% galets roulés soils, vinified and aged entirely in new French oak barrels. It brings another level of depth, richness, and complexity, with orange blossom, mint, toasted spices, and caramelised peach all shining here. Medium to full-bodied, it has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a stunning finish. This unquestionably stands as one of the wow wines of the vintage, offering a rare mix of purity, precision, and richness, and can be kept for 20-25 years if you're so inclined. Hats off to Pierre Fabre and the whole team at Mont-Redon. Drink 2025-2050. Comments by Jeb Dunnuck.
With almost 100 hectares under vine, the majority of Mont-Redon's vineyards are located in the appellations most favoured area, the high plateau which is covered in the large round pudding stones that Châteauneuf is so well known for. This remarkable property is in fact a single vineyard.There has been considerable investment at Mont-Redon over the past twelve years. The entire winery has been completely renewed and is now climate controlled. Rows of oak barriques have replaced the old large foudres of yester-year, and large temperature controlled stainless steel vats now line the walls, resulting in wines of freshness and finesse in both red and white wines. More recently optical sorting machines at harvest time have resulted in wines of great precision. Mont-Redon is a candidate for the most improved producer and the best value producer of the Southern Rhone.
