WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Mont-Redon Lirac Blanc is a white blend from vines mainly planted on a plateau of rolled pebbles soil. This region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers punctuated with a few showers essential to replenish the water reserves throughout the growing season. The Mistral wind blows fairly consistently year-round, reducing the disease pressure ensuring healthy grapes. Grapes undergo direct pressing on arrival at the winery and fermentation at low temperatures in a combination of inert vessels and Burgundian barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Mont-Redon Lirac Blanc has a medium golden appearance.It displays notes of white flowers, ripe stone fruit, nuts and a hint of honey. These aromas create a captivating bouquet that invites you to explore further. The palate showcases a fine balance between crisp acidity and rich, ripe fruits. Stone fruit notes, such as peach and apricot, dance on the tongue, while subtle hints of white pepper add depth and complexity. The palate shows a pleasing oily texture with a hint of oak spice and nuttiness on the finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Mont-Redon
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
