Château de Montfaucon Baron Louis 2018 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 93/100

From Lirac, Rhône wine region, Château de Montfaucon Baron Louis 2018 is a richly layered red wine blend of 50% Grenache Noir, 15% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 10% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre wine grapes. Dry, full-bodied and juicy, the wine is spicy and savoury with dark plum, berry, toasty oak spice and vanilla flavours finishing long and satisfying on the palate. Grapes were hand-harvested and destemmed with 80% of the wine ageing up to two years in neutral French oak barriques. Beautifully-crafted, enjoy it through 2028. Château de Montfaucon is an 88-acre estate located across the Rhône River from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is owned and operated by Rodolphe de Pins, a U.C. Davis graduate and former member of the winemaking team at Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. Baron Louis was a seminal figure in the history of Montfaucon and restored the château on the estate in the 19th century.

Food pairings: meat-lover's pizza, roasted root vegetable stew, roast pork, sauteed beef tenderloin, rack of lamb.
