About

Thirteen grape varieties (white and red) can be used to make a Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine. Château Mont-Redon cultivates and vinify all thirteen. Grenache (red or white) is the predominant grape in all blends. The king of all southern Rhône grapes, Grenache has incredible aromatic potential. Producing a velvety sensation when tasting and giving a wine a powerful background structure. Such a large and high quality palette of grapes allows Mont Redon to create subtle relationships between them, always in the goal of producing wines that are perfectly harmonious and balanced, with great complexity. These blends are the reflection of the terroir and of the estate’s own personality.

Terroir

The appellation area is located on the left bank of the Rhône, between Orange and Avignon. Two types of terroir come into the production of this wine: the terroir of the plateau of Mont-Redon composed of large rolled pebbles. Then the Urgonian calcareous terroir present in the form of angular white rocks. Only the very best of these two terroirs comes into this wine’s blend ensuring the complexity and consistency of Mont-Redon’s style.

Vinification

Whole cluster pressing in pneumatic presses. Natural cold settling (10-12°C) and slight fining with bentonite. Vinification at constant low temperatures of 14° to 16 ° C. Duration of fermentation: 3 to 4 weeks minimum. In order to preserve the natural acidity and freshness of the aromas, malolactic fermentation is not processed. Maturing on fine lees in vats for 4 to 8 months depending on the vintage then bottling.

Tasting Notes

Our white Châteauneuf du Pape should be enjoyed young for its aromatic freshness with floral and citrus notes. The mouth is very pure and expresses all of the terroir’s minerality. After a few years of aging, acacia notes appear, even oily character as well as a very smooth texture. Cellaring potential: 15 years or more.

Food Pairing

It will ideally pair with foie gras, oysters, black truffle scrambled eggs or a parmesan cheese and scallop risotto.

Jeb Dunnuck

Bright apple, citrus, and minty herb notes all emerge from the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a rocking little white that has medium-bodied richness, a juicy, lively mouthfeel, and an undeniable sense of salty minerality on the finish. Based on 55% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Roussanne, and 10% Picpoul Blanc, it's going to benefit from 6-12 months of bottle age and mostly like evolve for well over a decade, although I'd drink bottles through 2027.

Wine Advocate

Evoking fresh and delicate aromas of ripe orchard fruits, white fruits, spices and spring blossoms, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is medium to full-bodied, juicy and mouth coating, with a velvety attack, a satiny mid-palate and a long, fresh, saline finish. This blend of 55% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Roussanne and 10% Picpoul Blanc, matured entirely in stainless steel, is a real success.
