Description
Situated at the highest point of the hills surrounding the village of Chateauneuf du Pape. It is the largest (private) company in the Appellation. At the top in terms of quality for years. The company belongs to the Abeil and Fabre families. In addition to Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac and Côtes du Rhône are also produced there. With regard to the Chateauneuf du Pape, there are different labels such as "vignoble abeile" and "vignoble Fabre", but the wine is always the same. Château Mont-Redon makes broad-shouldered class wines.
The Chateauneuf-du-pape from Mont Redon is a very strong wine from a great year. The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape consists mainly of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre and then Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin & Vaccarèse. The maturation took place 45% in tanks and 55% in oak barrels for 12 months. On the nose we smell numerous herbs and hints of leather, with sweet red fruit, cinnamon and truffle. This medium body wine is beautifully balanced and perfect to drink.
Around Châteauneuf-du-Pape there is a landscape of gently rolling slopes and sometimes large plateaux. The characteristic soil is reddish earth covered with round pebbles, small and large: Galets or Caillous roulés. These were transported by the Rhône glacier at the time. In some places the cobblestone avenue is one and a half to two meters thick. The stones ensure that the grapes become completely ripe, because during the day they collect solar heat.
