Henri PLANTIN, a visionary pionneer, was the first to grow vines on the highest terraces of the appellation. As worthy descendants, the current generation turned MONT REDON into the leading estate in CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE.
ANCIENT KNOW-HOW
The Rules are basic : a manual selection at the harvest to ensure that only perfect grapes are used; a judicious blend of thirteen grape varietals to emphasize the aromatic complexity of the wine ; a long maceration of about three weeks to obtain the required depth and structure ; finally a refined barrel aging : that's it but it's an Art !
A UNIQUE TERROIR
