2021 Chateau Mont-Redon Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Magnum

Around Châteauneuf-du-Pape stretches a landscape of gently sloping slopes and sometimes large plateaux. The characteristic soil is ruddy earth covered with round pebbles, small and large: Galets or Caillous roulés. At the time, these were carried by the Rhône glacier. In some places the boulder layer is one and a half to two meters thick. The stones ensure that the grapes ripen completely, because they collect solar heat during the day and radiate it again at night. 13 grape varieties are allowed for making Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the wine is therefore always a blend (composition of different grape varieties). Each variety adds something unique to the wine. White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a fairly rare, surprisingly beautiful wine of a high level.

The Mont Redon team makes a beautiful and elegant Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc that is made from 55% Grenache, 20% Clairette and the balance Bourboulenc and other permitted varieties. The wine is aged in stainless steel for 9 months. The Mont-Redon is an aromatic white Châteauneuf with soft citrus fruit, nice minerality and good acidity. Bright golden yellow. Fresh and lively thanks to sufficient acidity. Round and smooth in the mouth, long finish with notes of honey and almonds. a white Châteauneuf-du-pape is scarce and oh so refined. This wine is wonderful to drink young, but can also be stored for another 5-10 years. A white Chateauneuf du Pape is an ideal food wine and is a nice accompaniment to, among other things, pickled cod, lobster or Thai food.
