Château Mont-Redon are one of the stars of the Châteauneuf.
THE WINEMAKER:
Pierre Fabre, is now the forth generation of his family to head up Château Mont-Redon. Pierre is a man of principle with a philosophie to craft great wines buy achieving low yields in the vineyard, working by hand with the vines, and taking a special interest into the environmental practices of Château Mont Redon. In 2017, Pierre became the general manager of the Château Mont-Redon as well has being the head-wine makers.
Our Gigondas offers a spice-laced bouquet of black raspberries, flowers, brioche, and exotic notes of peach and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, rounded, very pretty and silky on the palate, with ripe tannins.
