Chateau Mont-Redon Reserve Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2023

Product Description:
Perfumed red fruit, supple texture and classic Southern Rhône spice define the Château Mont-Redon Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2023. The vintage is composed of 50% Syrah, 41% Grenache Noir and a combined 9% of Marselan, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Bottled under the Réserve Mont-Redon label, the wine draws upon the estate’s Côtes du Rhône vineyards alongside carefully selected wines sourced from established growers in the region. Château Mont-Redon owns approximately 25 hectares within the appellation, with vineyards situated around Orange and Roquemaure on stony limestone-clay plains. Part of the vineyard lies near Lirac and Tavel on a plateau of rolled pebbles, while another section is located close to the north-western boundary of Châteauneuf-du-Pape on Urgonian limestone soils. 

The grapes are completely destemmed before undergoing approximately 15 days of skin contact, developing colour, structure and a defined tannic framework. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured in vats within the estate’s underground cellars for eight to ten months, then rested in bottle before release. The 2023 combines the perfume and fleshy generosity of ripe Syrah and Grenache with freshness, fine tannins and a delicate suggestion of Provençal herbs. It is approachable in its youth, showing generous fruit and supple texture, while possessing enough structure to develop over several years. Grilled red meats, game terrine, cured ham, hearty Mediterranean dishes and mature cheeses make particularly suitable accompaniments.
