    Product description

    Located opposite to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Montfaucon spreads over 45 hectares of vineyards. Today, owner Rudolphe de Pins, who made wine at Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, follows sustainable practices and farms at low yields to create concentrated wines full of character.

    Sourced from a plot of 140 years old Clairette, barrel fermented and matured in used oak barrel to add volume and structure. Discreet on the nose with notes of lime, orange blossom, white peach and brioche. Medium to full-bodied and rich on the palate with a long and mineral finish.

    Awards

    Aromatically restrained, with subtle tobacco and cedar around the central honeysuckle and fennel notes. Medium-bodied, with a lovely soft effect on the tongue and slim ribbons of acidity weaving through the wine which ends long and focused. Great energy, elegance and precision. From a half-hectare parcel of vines planted before 1870, so some of the oldest in the Rhône Valley. Fermented then aged in used barrels.

    About the producer: Château de Montfaucon

    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. The team co-ferment up to five varieties in the same tank to integrate the different grapes and enhance the balance of the wine. The wines are aged in used oak barrels for up to 8 months for the whites and 18 months of the reds.
