Chateau Mont Redon Reserve Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2022

Hi Folks, One of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's biggest and brightest stars have invested big time in Côtes du Rhône- the result is a value-packed brand new 2022 release!

Château Mont-Redon is a big-time player in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but over the last decade or so, they've turned their attention to the more affordable Côtes du Rhône region.  They've undeniably emerged as not only the most improved but also the best value producer in the Southern Rhône.

Chateau Mont-Redon Reserve Cotes du Rhone 2022 is now out and what a release this is for under $30.  You get everything the region promises - it's light-medium-bodied, it's balanced and nuanced, it has fine tannins and a long finish.  It's common for wines like this to be nudging $40, but Mont-Redon Reserve still has a sub-$30 price tag, but for how long who knows?  Take a look at what our favourite Rhone Valley wine writer Jeb Dunnick had to say about this great value Red below and get in quick before it's all gone!

''The 2022 Côtes Du Rhône Reserve checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that's mostly from the limestone soils in Lirac. Blackberries, ripe cherries, peppery herbs, and floral notes all show, and it's medium-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. Readers looking for an impeccably made, high-quality Côtes Du Rhône to drink over the coming 5-6 years or more should grab some!"  Jeb Dunnuck

"There are a lot of hidden values in the Southern Rhône. Simply put: The region is starting to produce better and better wines" Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
