Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau de Mont-Redon 2017

Château Mont-Redon will be familiar to those who know and love Châteauneuf-du-Pape being well recognized as the owners of one of the most highly regarded vineyard sites in the appellation. The superb quality of its vineyards has been recognized throughout history and prior to the adaptation of the appellation controlee system it was one of the few ‘Grand Crus’ in the region (together with Chateau Rayas).

Made in small volumes only in the best years, Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau de Mont-Redon 2017 comes from plots chosen on the high plateau of galets roules. This wine is made from the very first parcels of vines planted when the family purchased Mont-Redon back in 1923, from a superb plot of very stony soils planted solely to syrah and grenache when the estate was first starting its journey of recovery back from the devastation of phylloxera.

Impressive ripeness and depth for this vintage. Plenty of meat, floral and graphite aromas, as well as black plums. Round and silky, in spite of the generous tannins. Long and refined finish with more than enough power. Sustainable. Drink or hold. - 94 points, James Suckling
