A Red That’s Ready Right Now
This 2020 vintage is the one to open and enjoy today — with lively, fruit-forward layers of dark berries, tar, and crushed stones. The bouquet is engaging and expressive, giving an instant lift to any dinner table. Why This Wine Deserves Your Attention: 2020 comes from plots rich in galets roulés (famous rounded pebbles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape), which radiate heat and ripen Grenache and Syrah to perfection. That’s why this wine offers power, ripeness, and immediate pleasure. Mont Redon’s gentle handling of the fruit aging in large oak foudres truly preserves freshness and purity.

The deeply fragrant nose pulls you inexorably into this majestic Chateauneuf. So vibrant and refined for this amount of power and concentration. Breathtaking Mediterranean herbal freshness at the super-long finish.
Composed of 60% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah, and 8% Mourvèdre, with the remaining 2% comprising Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin, and Vaccarèse, this wine begins with hand-harvested grapes that are fully destemmed prior to fermentation. The fermentation process spans 15 to 20 days, with careful cap management through plunging as needed for optimal extraction.
After completing malolactic fermentation, a meticulous selection process takes place—any batches not meeting the Estate’s stringent quality standards are sold off in bulk. The chosen wines are then aged for 12 months, split evenly between barrels and stainless steel tanks. A second selection occurs at the end of this period, with any underperforming batches once again diverted to bulk.
The final blend is assembled in tank and undergoes an additional 6 months of maturation before bottling. Following bottling, the wine rests for a further 4 to 6 months to ensure optimal integration before being released for shipping.
