2024 Mont-Redon Lirac Blanc

The 2024 Mont-Redon Lirac Blanc is a refined Southern Rhône white from the right bank of the Rhône River, just opposite Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Crafted from a classic blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and a touch of Viognier, it offers a balance of freshness, texture and regional character.

The nose is expressive and elegant, showing lemon, grapefruit and pear, layered with white peach, floral notes and a hint of fresh almond. There is a lifted aromatic profile with both citrus brightness and soft stone fruit depth.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a fresh, balanced structure and lively acidity. Citrus and orchard fruit are supported by a gentle creamy texture and light mineral edge, leading to a clean, elegant and persistent finish. The style is vibrant and approachable, combining Rhône texture with a more refreshing, modern profile.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect "value Rhône white" that we position as an alternative to Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc at a much more accessible price point. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy textured whites like Chardonnay or Rhône blends but want something fresher and more versatile. Compared to richer Rhône whites, this is lighter, more vibrant and easier to drink. Best enjoyed young over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, grilled fish, vegetable dishes or light Mediterranean cuisine.
