Château Mont-Redon

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Still catching up from two weeks ago. Well wasn’t this quite the joy! Slightly shy upon opening, with more red fruit on the palate. Developed considerably in the glass and bottle, filling out with black fruit and a tight, beautiful tannin core. Seems in a great place right now but with years ahead of it. — 3 months ago

Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

9.0

Aromas of kirsch, dried cherry, old wood, leather, and warm spice lead into a broad, supple palate. The fruit is ripe and generous, with earthy undertones and hints of black olive and dried herbs. Structure comes more from fine tannins than visible acidity, giving a smooth, gently weighted flow rather than lift. The finish is savory and persistent, marked by a candied touch.

A nice traditional CdP, but it does not show the fruit purity and freshness that’s one of the hallmark of the great 16’ vintage.

La Ferme du Mont

Premiere Cote Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

Soft fruit, gentle mousse. Bright and lively nose featuring crisp green apple, lemon zest, pear, and vibrant citrus fruit, layered with subtle white flowers (like honeysuckle). Expressive flavors of white cherry, apricot, and blood orange, beautifully balanced by a distinct vertical minerality and chalky clay terroir — 17 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I always LOVE when you resort to posting “petty” tasting notes, since otherwise I’m always intimidated by your massively detailed, and outstanding, tasting notes (which I prefer, but not trying to be “petty” here)!! 🤷🤷

@Doug Powers - There were four additional wines. I couldn’t keep up!

Clos du Mont-Olivet

Vieilles Vigne Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2024

Delightful. This wine is so elegant. Soft start, and brings a wave of blackberry/raspberry, earth, and heft… a delight. — 5 days ago

Clos du Mont-Olivet

La Cuvée du Papet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

Sous-bois, macerated fruit, brown spices, dried herbs. Warm, rustic and ripe, this has a lovely syrah/mourvedre soul and excellent balance. Yes, it’s mature and aging, but I’m glad to see that not all 07 Ch9dP’s are falling apart. — 24 days ago

Le Mont Benoit 1er Cru Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier Blend 2018

Lots of complex aromatics that became even more expressive as the bottle warmed up. Some oxidative notes mixed with bread and flowers. In the mouth this leans to the vinous side. Acid driven which allows it to be consumed through out the meal. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish — 4 years ago
