title: Château Mont-Redon 2012 White (Lirac)
description: Like several other estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Mont-Redon has expanded to neighboring Lirac, where the soils are very similar. This medium- to full-bodied blend of Clairette (45%), Grenache Blanc (25%), Roussanne (20%) and Viognier (10%) is rich and mouth coating, with aromas and flavors that hint at orange zest and apricot. Drink it over the next year or two.
variety: Rhône-style White Blend
