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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith almost 100 hectares of Chateauneuf-du-Pape under vine, the majority of Mont-Redon’s vineyards are located in the appellation’s most favoured area, the high plateau which is covered in the large round pudding stones galets roulets that Châteauneuf is so well known for. At this high point the huge pudding stone galets lie over a rich layer of clay which retains water and keeps the earth below cool as it helps the vines resist the torrid heat of each summer. In the 1960s some limestone terroir on the western edge of the appellation was planted to white varieties which are perfectly suited to limestone soil and give whites of great freshness and purity. This remarkable property is in fact a single vineyard which is very unusual in Châteauneuf-du-Pape where holdings are usually quite scattered and parcelated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 80 % Grenache, 20 % Syrah this wine has all the perfume and fleshy generosity of fully ripe Grenache fruit with freshness and finesse of tannins and that faint hint of Provence herbs that makes southern Rhone reds, and Mont-Redon, so popular. Amazing value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Reserve checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that's mostly from the limestone soils in Lirac. Blackberries, ripe cherries, peppery herbs, and floral notes all show, and it's medium-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. Readers looking for an impeccably made, high-quality Côtes Du Rhône to drink over the coming 5-6 years or more should grab some. - \u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre \u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Rhone Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2022\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mont Redon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16055895588913,"sku":"CMRRCDR","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/Mont-Redon-Reserve-CdR-NV-web.png?v=1677193181"},{"product_id":"domaine-christophe-patrice-petit-chablis-2024","title":"Domaine Christophe Patrice Petit Chablis 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"sc-2794ab5b-0 cfKAJa\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eChristophe Patrice, a winemaker from the village of Beine in Chablis, has a deep connection to the land and winemaking.
