Le Plateau 2017

PHILOSOPHY

This limited production cuvée represents the soul of Mont-Redon: a selection of the quintessence of our old vines from the Mont-Redon plateau, in the best vintages only.

SITUATION

The plots are located north-west of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation on the Mont-Redon plateau.

TERROIR

The terroir of the Mont-Redon plateau consists on the surface of a thick layer of rolled pebbles present up to 2 meters deep, which gradually mingle with the saffron, giving a strong draining capacity. In the basement, thin layers of clay overlap. This combination of pebbles, saffron and clays makes this terroir so great and offers the almost century-old vines that make up the Plateau de Mont-Redon vintage an ideal moderate water supply.

THE CLIMATE

The Mont-Redon plateau is open and very exposed to the Mistral and the Provençal sun, which promotes excellent sanitary conditions in the vineyard and optimal ripeness of the grapes.
