Chateau Mont Redon Chateauneuf du Pape 2021 Fortified Wine60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 8% Mourvedre and 2% Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin and Vaccarese aged half in Barrique and half in vats. '(vat casks) full red; the bouquet shows discreet sunshine, therefore a trim sweetness, with a centre of black berry jam, a hint of blue fruit, salting and oak. The palate bears good quality fruit, dark berries with a fine freshness throughout, is well poised and the juice sustains well into the aftertaste. Its a busy wine.

and as such typically occupies higher sites (Portlandian overlies Kimmeridgian) and has less clay

It drinks very well as an aperitif and also throughout the meal

The tannins are well-rounded with a slight toasty edge
