Château Mont-Redon Description
This 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.
It will ideally pair with foie gras, oysters, black truffle scrambled eggs or a parmesan cheese and scallop risotto.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Incredibly mineral and saline with astonishing focus and precision for this very warm location. Great lemon aromas ranging from blossoms to the peel. Great concentration, but no less vitality. Amazingly long finish that reminds me of great Alsace dry rieslings, like Clos St. Hune! Drink or hold.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and smaller amounts of Roussanne, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc. Ripe citrus, crushed stone, white flowers, and even a kiss of brioche all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a pure, elegant mouthfeel, good acidity, and a great finish. It's going to evolve for 10-12 years, if not longer, if well stored.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Beautifully fresh and pure, with a bed of chalky minerals supporting an inviting mix of apple and quince notes driven by mandarin orange acidity. Well-crafted, with nice length and energy, plus a hint of shortbread. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Picpoul. Drink now through 2028. 63 cases imported.
