Reserve Mont-Redon Cotes du Rhone

Background

"With almost 100 hectares of Chateauneuf-du-Pape under vine, the majority of Mont-RedonÕs vineyards are located in the appellationÕs most favoured area, the high plateau which is covered in the large round pudding stones that Ch‰teauneuf is so well known for. At this high point the huge pudding stone galets lie over a rich layer of clay which retains water and keeps the earth below cool as it helps the vines resist the torrid heat of each summer... Mont-Redon is clearly a candidate for not only the most improved producer and the best value producer of the Southern Rh™ne but now also one the very best producers in the large historic appellation of Ch‰teauneuf-du-Pape. Mont-Redon looks destined to become one of the highest achievers of the Rh™ne Valley in the coming decade. Recent reviews confirm this trend." - Importer's note

Tasting Note

"A blend of 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah this wine has all the perfume and fleshy generosity of fully ripe Grenache fruit with freshness and finesse of tannins and that faint hint of provence herbs that makes southern Rhone reds, and Mont-Redon, so popular. Amazing value." - Importer's note
