Description

The Chateauneuf Du Pape "Le Plateau" produced by Chateau Mont-Redon represents one of the highest examples of elegance and complexity in the wine landscape of the Rhone Valley. This robust red wine stands out for a varietal composition dominated by Grenache, alongside Syrah and Mourvèdre, which provide a well-balanced tannic structure and a long-lasting taste.

The winemaking follows traditional methods, with a careful selection of the grapes and controlled fermentation, followed by aging in French oak barrels that enrich the bouquet with aromas of ripe fruit, subtle spices, and slightly balsamic notes. Visually, the wine presents with an intense and deep red color. On the nose, intense aromas of plum, tobacco, and chocolate emerge, harmoniously blending with hints of aromatic herbs and damp earth, typical of the Chateauneuf Du Pape terroir.

The "Le Plateau" proves to be an ideal companion for rich and structured dishes, such as braised meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, thanks to its ability to evolve and improve in the glass, revealing new nuances with each sip. A prestigious addition to any cellar, promising optimal aging potential.

Winery history

The Mont-Redon site has been planted with vines since Roman times; the earliest historical record indicates that in 1344 the vineyard belonged to the bishopric. Over the centuries the property passed to the Astier-Mathieu family. In 1923 Henri Plantin purchased the land and began a major programme of replanting and consolidation of the vineyards: subsequent generations progressively expanded the estate until it formed a single, extensive vineyard holding. Today the estate is owned by the Plantin heirs and is managed by the fourth generation; in recent years the family has also acquired other domaines in the region. In 2023 the centenary of Plantin ownership of Mont-Redon was celebrated.

Production philosophy

The winery prioritizes manual work and the care of older vines, artisanal vineyard practices and low‑intervention winemaking to showcase the expression of its different terroirs. The estate also states a commitment to measured environmental practices aimed at preserving soil and biodiversity; it has obtained HVE level 3 certification.

Terroir and vineyards

Château Mont-Redon is situated in the northwestern part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, on a single contiguous block of vineyards that encompasses the three terroirs typical of the appellation: the plateau of large galets roulés, the safres and the Urgonian limestones. These distinct geological substrates contribute to the wines' complexity, providing different water reserves and mineral profiles.
