CHÂTEAU DE MONTFAUCON |
| Deep intense purple-ruby colour. Bright, gently complex, ripe, cherry-plum purée nose with some mineral-tinged, gently complex, faintly savoury, sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied, very slightly spicy, rounded, surprisingly complex, harmonious, fresh, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis flavours with a lingering, well balanced, surprisingly complex, lively, mulberry-tinged finish . This new blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Carignan, 10% Cinsault and 5% Counoise has been fermented and aged in concrete tanks without any influence from oak barrels. Has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L20/133 on the back label. Delicoius and ready-to-drink don’t miss this 2017 delicious Cotes dusty Rhone. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Lovely, evolving, classic southern Rhône aromatics are on display in this sharp value from Montfaucon, while the palate delivers ripe, succulent, fleshy red and black fruit, black pepper, wild herbs and more in the regional idiom. It has class and finesse above the generic appellation and moderate price. I love the supple but succulent texture and fine length, too. Score - 91 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, July 2021) |
