Product description
Located opposite to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Montfaucon’s vineyards lie between the village of Montfaucon, Roquemaure and St Genies de Comolas in the Rhône Valley. Rodolphe de Pins, a former member of the winemaking team at Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, took over the family estate in 1995 which today spreads over 45 hectares of vineyards. The vines are 40 years old on average and all the vineyards are farmed at low yields (between 25 to 42 hl/ha) and managed following sustainable practices.
Rodolphe de Pins has been at the helm at Montfaucon since 1995, following stints at Henschke in the Barossa Valley and Vieux Telegraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rodolphe’s enthusiasm is infectious and it is immediately clear just how much work and thought goes in to the wines, which offer exceptional quality across the range. Serious, intense and age-worthy wines.
‘Infectious dark purple florals, spiced damsons and smoky minerals overlay the meaty, juicy texture and fine shapely tannins and purr contentedly towards the finish line.’
