Monredon Cotes du Rhone 2007

Tony Love: Bloody brilliant

Monredon 2007 Cotes du Rhone ($24-27) has just arrived in the better wine shops and is even better than its '06, which totally rocked for its price. It's essentially an undercover Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine, with bright red berry fruit and lots of personality, with a little anise and herb complexity to boot. Bloody brilliant. Tony Love, The Courier Mail, July 13, 2010.

Powerful, yet light on its feet, a go-to luncheon wine with a beautiful red cored fruity, spice, peppery character. Score: 90-92 Points. Ben Edwards.

A bit of a legend with those in the know, with bright red berry fruit, lots of personality with a little anise and herb complexity to boot. Bloody brilliant. France, $24-$27; Tony Love, National Wine Writer, taste.com.au

Chateau Mont Redon will be familiar to those who know and appreciate Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Owning more than 160 hectares of land in the appellation, Mont-Redon is the largest family-owned producer of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The estate has completely renewed production facilities over the past 5 years and the quality of wine has increased tremendously during that time. Grapes are also purchased for this very successful Monredon Cotes du Rhone. The vineyards are located in three soil types - sand, limestone and large river bed stones over clay.The style of Château Mont-Redon Côtes-du-Rhône is one expressive of its "terroir," and vinified to exhibit deep, clean, intense fruit, soft, balanced tannins and early approachability. Deep violet red in color, the wine shows aromas of dark berries and raspberries which are confirmed on the full, succulent palate. These are offset by slight grilled notes and nuances of licorice, which carry into the persistent finish.
