This Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau Magnum 1.5L 2016 is an exceptional wine that features delightful notes of crème de cassis, graphite, toasted bread, garrigue, and minerality. This masterpiece is a result of ten years of reflection and tasting by the general manager and winemaker Pierre Fabre. The grapes are sourced from the most beautiful terroir of the estate, the plateau of Mont-Redon, where only 80 to 100-year-old vines are cultivated, and small yields ensure good concentration.
What sets this wine apart is its magnum bottle size of 1.5L, which is equivalent to two standard bottles of wine. The magnum bottle not only provides an impressive appearance but also offers benefits to the wine. The larger volume allows for a slower aging process, resulting in a more refined and balanced wine with a longer shelf life. It also reduces the exposure to oxygen during the aging process, ensuring that the wine's aromas and flavours remain intact.
Overall, the Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau Magnum 1.5L 2016 is a rare gem that is worth savouring. Its exceptional terroir, meticulous winemaking, and magnum bottle size make it a perfect addition to any wine collection or special occasion.
