Wine Spectator – Key lime, pear and green apple notes form the core here, while light fennel, honeysuckle and quinine accents ripple through the bright, unadorned finish.
About This Wine
Around Châteauneuf-du-Pape stretches a landscape of gently sloping slopes and sometimes large plateaux. The characteristic soil is ruddy earth covered with round pebbles, small and large: Galets or Caillous roulés. At the time, these were carried by the Rhône glacier. In some places the boulder layer is one and a half to two meters thick. The stones ensure that the grapes ripen completely, because they collect solar heat during the day and radiate it again at night. 13 grape varieties are allowed for making Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the wine is therefore always a blend (composition of different grape varieties). Each variety adds something unique to the wine. White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a fairly rare, surprisingly beautiful wine of a high level.
The Mont Redon team makes a beautiful and elegant Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc that is made from 55% Grenache, 20% Clairette and the balance Bourboulenc and other permitted varieties. The wine is aged in stainless steel for six months. The Mont-Redon is an aromatic white Châteauneuf with soft citrus fruit, nice minerality and good acidity. Bright golden yellow. Fresh and lively thanks to sufficient acidity. Round and smooth in the mouth, long finish with notes of honey and almonds. a white Châteauneuf-du-pape is scarce and oh so refine

Wines of Rhone Valley
The Rhone wine region is situation in the south of France in the Rhone Valley. The region is split into north and south with distinctively different winemaking styles. In the north, the main grape used is Syrah and is sometimes blended with white varietals. In the south however, reds are a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. You may be familiar with this sort of blend; in Australia it is labelled GSM.
Wines are produced under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The most prestigious of which is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You may also have heard of other AOC names such as Gigondas, Hermitage, Lirac, St Joseph. Wines coming from these and other AOCs are all on the higher end of the market.
On the value end we have wines produced in Cotes-du-Rhone AOC. Cotes-du-Rhone often refers to wines made in the Rhone Valley that do not fall under any other AOC, often from the flatter areas around Southern Rhone. However, it also does include the fringes of well-respected northern appellations as well. In terms of volume, a majority of Rhone wine falls under the Cotes-du-Rhone AOC and it offers some of the best value in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds.
Full-bodied and flavourful white wine blends are also made in the region. These are typically a combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
