About this product

There's no confusion as to why Mont-Redon carries so much prestige with the name. From their humble Côtes-du-Rhône to the might Châteauneuf-du-Pape, all are lavished with careful winemaking. This bottling is a mature release, cellared initially at the winery, then in our own cellar since then. The 2010 vintage is one of the region's best regarded in recent years, so while it's likely drinking splendidly now, it could easily hold on for another 5-10 years.

What the critics say

93 points - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

This well-known, large (over 250 acres) Chateauneuf du Pape estate has produced some of the greatest Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted, including their 1949 (one of the top 25 wines of my lifetime), 1955 and 1961. This visit was the first time I have had a chance to taste these wines in many years, and it appears a younger generation is making a comeback with their offerings from Lirac and Chateauneuf du Pape. An exceptionally strong effort, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape should eclipse the quality, longevity and overall character of the 2009. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by notes of cassis, kirsch, lavender, pepper and earth. Deep, full-bodied, textured, pure and long with sweet tannins as well as admirable focus and delineation, it will age gracefully for 15 or more years.
