Château Mont-Redon Lirac 2022 is the red wine release from the historic estate Château Mont-Redon under the Lirac AOC in the southern Rhône Valley. This bottling draws on roughly 70% Grenache Noir, 20%Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre (or other permitted Rhône varieties), a classic Rhône‑style blend that balances generous fruit with structure. Grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, rigorously sorted in the vineyard and at the winery, then fully destemmed prior to fermentation.
Controlled maceration and skin contact ensure elegant extraction, followed by élevage in which about one third of the wine matures in 228‑litre barrels while the remainder rests in vats. Total élevage lasts approximately 18 months, with additional cellar rest before release. This 2022 Lirac captures both the ripe red‑ and black‑fruit depth of Grenache and Syrah and the savoury, earthy spice and mineral undertones typical of the Rhône, delivering a wine that is approachable in its youth yet offers structure for short‑ to medium‑term ageing. It is well suited to hearty grilled meats, game, or Mediterranean stews that echo its rustic Rhône character.
