Description
Situated at the highest point of the hills surrounding the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it is the largest (privately owned) winery in the appellation. Its quality has been at the top for years. The winery is owned by the Abeil and Fabre families. Besides Châteauneuf-du-Pape, they also produce Lirac and Côtes-du-Rhône. While Châteauneuf-du-Pape has various labels, such as "vignoble Abeil" and "vignoble Fabre," the wine is always the same. Château Mont-Redon produces broad-shouldered, high-class wines.
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Mont Redon is a powerful wine from a fantastic vintage. The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is composed primarily of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and then Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin, and Vaccarèse. It was aged 45% in tanks and 55% in oak barrels for 12 months. The nose reveals numerous spices and hints of leather, along with sweet red fruit, cinnamon, and truffle. This medium-bodied wine is beautifully balanced and perfect for drinking.
Around Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a landscape of gently rolling hills and sometimes large plateaus stretches out. The characteristic soil is reddish earth covered with round pebbles, both large and small: galets or caillous roulés. These were carried by the Rhône Glacier. In some places, the path of pebbles is one and a half to two meters thick. The stones ensure that the grapes ripen fully, as they absorb the sun's heat during the day.
FACT: In the "Attachments" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order it. The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount. You'll see your discount immediately when you select "Pickup" at checkout.

Issue 244 End of August 2019, The Wine Advocate
A gentle mélange of ripe cherries, dusty earth and dried spices mingle on the nose of the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape. A blend of approximately 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 8.5% Mourvèdre and 1.5% other permitted varieties, it's full-bodied, showing some silky tannins on the cocoa-tinged finish.
Mont Redon is the appellation's largest vineyard owner, with 100 hectares under vine. Most of the parcels are on red clay and galets roulés, with smaller portions on sandy or limestone terroirs. Starting with the 2016 vintage, there is a special cuvée called le Plateau (de Mont Redon), which comes exclusively from the galets. It sees more oak and a higher proportion of new oak, but because of the concentration in the 2016 and 2017 vintages, it's not especially noticeable. The wine is a step above the large-production cuvée tradition in quality, but it's yet to be released. It's in keeping with the winemaking philosophy espoused by Pierre Fabre, who told me, "Color for me isn't quality-linked, it's style-linked. Most important is complexity and length." These aren't big, extracted wines but wines that feel comfortable and balanced.

Located on the highest point of the hills surrounding the village of Chateauneuf du Pape. It is the largest (private) company of the Appellation. Qualitatively at the top for years. The company belongs to the Abeil and Fabre families. Besides Chateauneuf du Pape they also make Lirac and Côtes du Rhône. with regard to the Chateauneuf du Pape, it applies that one has different labels such as "vignoble abeile" and "vignoble Fabre", but the wine is always the same. If you are in the area, the company's tasting room is definitely worth a visit. It is open every day. Around Châteauneuf-du-Pape there is a landscape of gently sloping slopes and sometimes large plateaus. The characteristic ground is reddish earth covered with round boulders, small and large: Galets or Caillous roulés. At the time, these were carried by the Rhône glacier. In some places, the cobblestone avenue is one and a half to two meters thick. The stones ensure that the grapes ripen completely, because during the day they collect solar heat to radiate it again at night.
