Product information "Châteauneuf du Pape « le Plateau de Mont-Redon » 2018"
This limited production cuvee embodies the soul of Mont-Redon: a
selection of the quintessence of our older vines on the plateau de Mont-
Redon, and on the occasion of the best vintages only.
LOCATION
The plots are located in the North-Western part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape
appellation, on the plateau de Mont-Redon.
TERROIR
The plateau de Mont-Redon is made out of a thick layer of rolled pebbles,
present over two meters deep which progressively combine with the “safre”
(sandy soil), allowing for great draining properties. Then thin clayish layers
provide important soil water-holding capacity. This combination of
pebbles, sandy soil and clay is what makes this terroir great, and offers the
nearly one-hundred-years-old vines which make up the Plateau de Mont-
Redon cuvee an ideally moderate supply of water.
CLIMATE
The plateau de Mont-Redon is widely exposed to the Mistral wind and
Provence’s sunlight which promote a good sanitary state of the vineyard,
and optimal maturity for the grapes.
WINEMAKING & BLENDING
The grapes are harvested manually and sorted in the vineyard, de-stemmed
then sorted a second time on an optical sorting table. After a cold
maceration of 2 to 3 days, skin contact lasts for 15 to 20 days during which
extraction is performed, mostly by punching down. Following the
malolactic fermentation, 60% of the wines are aged in Burgundian barrels
(50% of which are new) and 40% are aged in stainless steel tanks for 18
months. We then proceed to a selection of the best wines to define the
final blend, which rests “en masse” for 10 additional months before being
bottled.
