Wine With Bok - 9.5/10 Stars
Le Plateau is Mont-Redon’s gem, it comes only from the Mont Redon plateau and is a limited release based on 60% Grenanche and 40% Syrah with a blend of a mix of new and used barrels. In a blind tasting of all the Mont-Redon range of wines, this wine came up undisputed the champion wine amongst all the wine connoisseurs, obviously blind result doesn’t lie. Bouquet of balanced oak with loads of black currant, graphite and crushed rocks. Content is rock solid with multi-layers of fruits, the beauty is the feminine and elegant balance the fruits possess. You can easily age this wine for a decade or two given it’s current tannin level, although it is also very enjoyable at present age.
Deb Dunnuck - 95 Points
In the same ballpark, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Plateau comes only from the Mont Redon plateau and is a limited release based on 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah brought up in a mix of used and new barrels. Its saturated purple color is followed by a rocking bouquet of black raspberries, cassis, graphite, violets, and crushed rocks. With plenty of background oak, terrific depth of fruit, full body, and ripe, present tannins, it’s another balanced, age-worthy effort from this estate that should be snatched up by readers. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades. (8/2019)
