Expert Reviews
A finished blend but still in tank at the time of my visit (this new cuvée spends 18 months in oak and then 18 months in tank prior to bottling), the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape le Plateau comes from selected parcels of galets roulés on the plateau of Mont Redon. The blend is 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, and the result is a top-notch effort, boasting explosive aromas of cherries, cocoa and baking spices. Full-bodied, silky, rich and long, it's buttressed by the structural elements of the oak, without being swamped by wood at all.
The inaugural 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau de Mont-Redon develops in the glass with intense tobacco, dried red fruits, forest floor and sandalwood. Full-bodied, round and expansive, the 2016 concludes with a long and nuanced finish. Were it not for a slight trace of alcohol heat, I’d score it even higher.
