What it tastes like.

Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 1989 — a mature single-vintage release from one of Châteauneuf's largest and most historic estates. The Abeille-Fabre family has farmed Mont-Redon since 1921; the estate covers around 163 hectares across the appellation.

Grenache-led blend with Syrah, Mourvèdre and traditional Châteauneuf grapes, from the famous Mont-Redon plateau of galets roulants (rolled river pebbles). 1989 is one of the great modern southern Rhône vintages — ripe, structured and built for the long haul. This bottle has had over three decades of cellar age.

Mature Châteauneuf profile: stewed red and dark fruit, dried garrigue, leather, tobacco, dried rose and tertiary forest-floor notes. The palate is medium to full-bodied with resolved tannin, savoury complexity and a long, dry close. Drink on opening; a mature collector's bottle. 750ml.

About Mont Redon.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Rhône Valley) ·Est. 1923

Château Mont-Redon is Châteauneuf-du-Pape's largest estate, with 100 contiguous hectares of vineyard centred on the famous Plateau de Mont-Redon. Henri Plantin acquired the estate in 1923, before the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC was created in 1936; the oldest vines on the estate, planted by Plantin, are nearly a century old. The estate is now run by the fourth-generation Plantin descendants — Pierre Fabre and Yann Abeille of the Abeille-Fabre family. Holdings extend beyond Châteauneuf to Côtes-du-Rhône (1980 acquisition) and Lirac (1997).

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Mont Redon

Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Rhône Valley)

Henri Plantin acquired Mont-Redon in 1923, thirteen years before Châteauneuf-du-Pape was granted its appellation status in 1936. The estate's oldest vines were planted by Plantin in the 1920s and are now nearly a century old. Plantin's strategic decision was to consolidate parcels surrounding the property — recognising the exceptional terroir of the Plateau de Mont-Redon, with its mix of fine sand (safres), limestone and the famous galets roulés (rolled pebbles) that define the appellation. Subsequent generations of the family extended the estate to its current 100 contiguous hectares, making Mont-Redon the largest single estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The estate's holdings extend beyond Châteauneuf-du-Pape: 15 hectares in the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation acquired in 1980, and a further 35 hectares in Lirac (the appellation across the Rhône from Châteauneuf) added in 1997. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape style is classical: Grenache-led blends complemented by Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and the eight other authorised varieties of the appellation, with the white Châteauneuf made from Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.

The Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is the headline wine and the working trade Châteauneuf at this price tier. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is among the more cellar-worthy white expressions of the appellation. Below Châteauneuf, the Côtes-du-Rhône and Lirac wines provide accessible entry-tier expressions. The estate also produces a Marc de Châteauneuf-du-Pape — the regional grappa equivalent — under the Mont-Redon Abeille et Fabre label.
