    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.

    A blend of 15 grapes – mainly Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah – this wine was fermented and aged in used barrels. Aromas of vibrant blackberry with notes of clove and sage. Full-bodied with firm tannins on the palate alongside savoury notes and a long finish.

    Neat, compact, harmonious nose, with a similar profile on the palate. It’s tight, but certainly drinkable despite its youth, which is expressed through primary notes of blackberry, damson and lavender. Quite marked tight and tense tannins still, and a long finish. It’s a complete, well balanced wine that will age happily for many years.

    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.
