2020 Chateau Mont Redon Chateauneuf du Pape

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.

”2019 positions itself in the lineage of very great vintages; aging time only will tell if it joins 2017, 2016, 2010 in the pantheon of mythical years. 2019 possesses the perfect mix of concentration, complexity, depth and balance.” Pierre Fabre, winemaker-owner.

“Enchanting and complex nose of red fruit, tobacco leaf, licorice and delicate spices. Super-sensual palate that’s rich and refined, with so many nuances that you could spend hours studying it. Stunning interplay of ripe fruit with raw-meat and smoked-bacon character. Very long, silky finish that makes it hard not to take another gulp. Sustainable. Drink or hold.”
