Producer Information
Chteau Mont-Redon is the largest wine producer in Chteauneuf-du-Pape with more land under vine than any other wine estate in the region. It produces red and white locally sourced wines as well as wines from estate vineyards in Lirac, Cairanne, and in the wider Ctes du Rhne winemaking zone. The estate’s history is one of the longest in the southern Rhne Valley, dating back to 1344 when the officially recognized vineyard was known as Mourredon. In the 1920s, the chteau’s vineyard land greatly expanded as parcels were pieced together by Henri Plantin, whose family still run the estate today. Chteau Mont-Redon owns 186 hectares (460 acres) of land in Chteauneuf-du-Pape, 100 hectares (247 acres) of which are planted to grapes. Red grape varieties, including the classic southern Rhne trio of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvdre, make up 80 percent of plantings.
