2019 Chateau Mont-Redon Gigondas Reserve 750Ml

This producer's first Gigondas is a terrific debut. The Gigondas Reserve Mont Redon—a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre—comes from the lieux-dits of Pied Gu, Pallière and Notre Dame des Pallières and was aged in a mix of lightly used Burgundian pièces and tank. Perfumes include scents of violets, lavender, cherries and vanilla, while the full-bodied palate is lush and creamy, ending long, with hints of cracked pepper and salted licorice.
