MONT REDON LIRAC 2020

Style: Spicy & Bright

Château Mont-Redon will be familiar to those who know and love Châteauneuf-du-Pape being well recognized as the owners of some of the most highly regarded vineyard sites in the appellation. The superb quality of its vineyards has been recognized throughout history and prior to the adaptation of the appellation controlee system it was one of the few ¿Grand cru¿s¿ in the region (together with Chateau Rayas). With almost 100 hectares under vine, the majority of Mont-Redon¿s vineyards are located in the appellations most favoured area, the high plateau which is covered in the large round pudding stones that Châteauneuf is so well known for. This remarkable property is in fact a single vineyard and according to Robert Parker makes "some of the best Chateauneuf's I have ever tasted". VINTAGE AND VINE

About one-third of the medium to full-bodied, soft-silky 2020 Lirac was matured in barrels, while the rest aged in tank. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, it offers some spicy-peppery notes, hints of garrigue and ripe cherry fruit, finishing with notes of hickory smoke and mocha. Drink it young. JOE CZERWINSKI
