Description:
A full rich Southern Rhone red showing all the complexity of the different grape types that go to make up the blend. Warm brambly fruit with a touch of spice.
Chateau Mont-Redon is one of the finest producers in the region. This wine is fragrant, fruity and elegant with perfect balance and a richness that just lingers on and on. (12 x 75 cl)
Its colour is usually dark purple in the first years, slowly evolving towards a deep, intense ruby. Over time, the opulent fruit aromas are enhanced with spicy and smoky notes which, in turn, evolve into a rounded and delicate bouquet. Similarly, on the palate the powerful young fruits acquire rich, toasty flavours which develop into a wine of considerable finesse and elegance. At every stage of this maturation, the tannin structure remains present and complex which ensures that the wine has enormous ageing potential. (12 x 75 cl)
All of the permitted 13 varieties are grown on the estate and vinified separately before partial aging in oak and a final blend or assemblage a year after the vintage. The wines of Mont-Redon are intensely fruity when young but are made to age, showing a complex gamey character, a textbook Chateauneuf with spice, warmth and sweet raisiny fruit. (12 x 75 cl)
Mont-Thabor Chateauneuf du Pape has good concentration of fruit and great complexity. The tannins are soft but sufficient for several years bottle ageing and the wines, although with sweet fruit and layers of flavour are 'muscular' and rich. (6 x 75 cl)
This wine comes from one of the most prestigious wineries in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This excellent Cotes du Rhone has a nose of ripe red fruits, whilst the palate is full, rich and rounded. (12 x 75 cl)
