In the middle of XVIIIe century, Mont-Redon was acquired by noble: Joseph Ignace d' Astier, lawyer Doctor of Laws in Avignon. Then Mont-Redon passed to the hands of the Mathieu. Anselme Mathieu said Marquis of Mont-Redon and exploited this winegrowing with her brothers with the death of his father. A catastrophe touched then the family and it was the division of the properties. In 1923, Mont-Redon is acquired by the Plantin family. Henri Plantin then applies to gather the whole of the grounds and to give to the winegrowing his current aspect: that of a property covering 162 ha, including 100 planted in vines (plate of rollers argilo-limestone).

This 2008 are very tempting, fond of delicacies, tasty and one can taste it as of now. To continue our qualitative politics with the castle Mont Redon, we put ourselves at the European standards on all levels, optimized the reception of the grape harvest and enlarged the fermenting room of wine making to be able to make the best selections. We always knew to be precursory and to use the best tool with the service of quality, we moreover acquired tables of optical sorting. In a context of crisis, our situation is rather comfortable, our wines of an excellent quality-price ratio do not suffer too much and we opened other outlets abroad which compensate for certain losses. At the national level, our sales are maintained for all our appellations. It is a recognition of our know-how, quality of our wines which touches us much.” The 2007 are a great vintage, at the same time rich and powerful, elegant while being structured, of a beautiful aromatic complexity to the notes of toasted, of roasted, a wine which has temperament!
