Made with grapes from old vines between 80 and 100 years of age, the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau de Mont-Redon is composed of equal proportions Grenache and Syrah. It mingles bright aromas of ripe red and black cherry, licorice, dried herbs, cloves, mint and wood smoke. Full-bodied, packed with flavor intensity and wrapped in ripe tannins, it concludes with great persistence on the savory finish. Only 4,500 bottles produced.
