2019 Chateau Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 750Ml Bottle

'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.' 95 points - James Suckling

Currently in something of a purple patch, Château Mont-Redon is firmly on an upward trajectory. Under the guidance of Pierre Fabre and his team, the estate is producing some of the most compelling wines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, particularly from its holdings in the cooler, northwestern sector.

Here, vineyards rooted in galets roulés, limestone and sandy soils yield wines that balance depth with clarity. The range spans classic red and white cuvées alongside the single-site Le Plateau wines, drawn from the estate’s highest, stone-laden plateau.

The classic red is led by grenache with support from syrah and mourvèdre, while Le Plateau Rouge—an even split of grenache and syrah—leans into a more structured, powerful frame. There is a subtle modern polish in youth, yet the wines retain their Southern Rhône identity and are built to age.
