// Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, Picpoul & Bourboulenc.
// Special Edition Gaël Serre X Chateau Mont-Redon Release
"In order to preserve the natural acidity and freshness of the aromas, malolactic fermentation is not practiced. Maturing on fine lees in vats for 4 to 8 months depending on the vintage then bottling. Grapes are harvested at the perfect maturity following validation through tasting of the grapes. The white Châteauneuf du Pape should be enjoyed young for its aromatic freshness with floral and citrus notes. The mouth is very pure and expresses all of the terroir’s minerality. After a few years of aging, acacia notes appear, even oily character as well as a very smooth texture." - Cahteau Mont-Redon, Winemaker
"Expansive and subtle nose of stone fruit with a touch of candied citrus underlined by leesy complexity. Rich and creamy, but also very fresh on the full-bodied palate. Then comes a terrific creamy and salty finish that lingers very long. Drink or hold." - 96 Points, James Suckling
"Surprisingly deeply coloured for such a young white. Direct, bright and fresh with notes of mandarin, chalk dust and flowers. This has the characteristic Châteauneuf body, but has surprisingly powerful acidity, helping to bring balance and length. Extended lees contact this year has added character and typicity. First grapes picked 23 August, finished on 20 September with the Clairette. Fermented in stainless steel, aged in concrete. No malo. Sample not yet bottled, but finished wine." - 93 Points, Matt Walls, Decanter
