The king of Savoie’s grape varieties, this Mondeuse reveals a full-bodied nose where fruit is accented by spicy notes, with a bouquet of violets, elderflower, graphite, and smoked bacon. Its delicious palate delights with voluptuous body and a fresh, crisp texture shaped by its tannic structure. A Mondeuse that’s simply marvelous!

Wine Production

Mille-feuille vinification with destemmed and undestemmed grape slices layered at the bottom. A starter culture from these same vines is added to the pomace to initiate alcoholic fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation temperatures range from 20 to 27°C. Maceration lasts 15 days. Pressing is done without re-pressing, and alcoholic fermentation is completed. Malolactic fermentation then begins spontaneously. This wine is unfiltered and unsulfited.

Review by Mr. HUGUES G. Published on September 3, 2022

To start with, you should clearly state in bold that this is a natural wine, with all that entails. Off-notes: a finish with hints of gouache and a stable. Furthermore, your description of this wine is inaccurate—color, nose, and palate. Natural wines are a scam. There are so-called connoisseurs of this type of wine, but it’s an exploitation of vulnerable people. There would never have been any great wines without a minimum amount of sulfur. Pure heresy.
