Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

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 (together with Chateau Rayas). Château Mont-Redon red Châteauneuf-du-Papes opens up and come into their own five to eight years after the harvest, but they can age over ten years depending on the vintage and the storage condition. Deep glistening magenta. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, potpourri and smoky minerals accented by an exotic Moroccan spice quality. Shows impressive depth as well as energy on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors; an undercurrent of juicy acidity adds lift and back-end cut. Finishes sweet, gently tannic and very long, leaving behind mineral, garrigue and cherry liqueur notes. – Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media, 95 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre Country – France Region – Rhone Valley Vintage – 2019 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 15.5%
