Domaine de Puy Redon

Dry Chardonnay from Monbazillac's storied sweet wine region.

Domaine de Puy Redon sits in Monbazillac, the sweet wine enclave of Guyenne in South West France. The region's cool autumns and morning mists create ideal conditions for noble rot, yet the domaine's Chardonnay demonstrates a different expression of terroir—a white wine of structure and minerality. Chardonnay from this address shows the grape's capacity for complexity: stone fruit, subtle oak integration, and the kind of acidity that rewards cellaring. The wine has drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. In a region historically defined by botrytized sweetness, this dry expression offers an alternative perspective on what Monbazillac's vineyards can yield.
