Description

Château Mont-Redon sits at the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a vineyard on the iconic galet-covered plateau alongside sandy and limestone soils – essentially all the classics that make the region tick. In 2021 they’ve delivered a wine that manages to be rich and intense without losing that signature elegance the estate is known for.

This vintage blends Grenache (about 60%), Syrah (31%), Mourvèdre (8%) and a dash of other allowed varieties, all picked, fermented and aged thoughtfully. Gentle oaky notes are there, but folded in discreetly alongside ripe black cherry, elderberry, licorice and a touch of cedar. You get structure from grippy tannins and a sense of drive, but it never feels heavy – it’s balanced in that way that says “Châteauneuf, yes – but with poise.”

Drink now with hearty dishes or cellar for a few years – it’s one of those region-defining bottles that works now but keeps giving.

60 % Grenache Noir, 30 % Syrah, 8 % Mourvèdre & 2 % Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin & Vaccarèse. Hand harvested and 100 % destemmed before fermentation over 15 to 20 days, with extraction via plunging the cap as required. Following the malolactic, a rigorous selection is performed and batches that do not meet the Estate’s quality criteria are sold in bulk. The selected batches are matured for 12 months in approximately 50 % barrels and 50 % stainless steel tanks. At this point another selection is made and any lesser batches are again sold in bulk. The final blend is then assembled in tank and matured for a further 6 months before bottling, then a further 4 to 6 months in bottle before it is available for shipping.
