An assemblage of fruit, picked off vines near the village of Roquemaure on the right bank of the Rhone, between Orange and Avignon. Mostly Grenache with a fifth of Syrah, the earliest vines at Mont Redon date back to ancient times. Protected from the chilling Mistral winds, the canny Romans planted their rootstock at the bottom of a hill which lends its name to the estate. In the middle of the 18th Century, nobleman Joseph Ignace d'Astier acquired Mont-Redon. His descendants still own the property, manage the vines and make Mont Redon Cotes-du-Rhône.
Bright, deep colour. Rich and developed nose, dark berries and raspberries offset by grilled notes and nuance of licorice. A very well structured palate with firm tannin support completed by an outstanding aromatic complexity of red fruits. Fat and round mouthfeel with a long and savoury, spicy finish.
