“This Mondeuse, made from 45-year-old vines, is characterized by its richness and generosity. A wine with a flattering, rich nose of strawberry purée, raspberry, and elderberry, followed by a silky, full-bodied palate with fine, well-integrated tannins and very well-balanced oak.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Eugène Carrel’s estate was taken over by his son Olivier, who has been in partnership since 2022 with Thomas Senger, a thirty-something Parisian who cut his teeth at LVMH. While Olivier wanted to produce “the world’s greatest wine with elegance” on the terroirs of Jongieux and the Marestel cru, he had the passion but not quite the resources. Thomas arrived with significant investment capital (a new winery, wine tourism) and genuine expertise (marketing, pricing). Olivier is now assisted by Clémence Badoux and acquired temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks in 2023. The wine lineup is well-crafted and designed to appeal to a broad audience. Ideas are flowing, and the estate is thriving.

About the estate:
A trusted name in the Savoy wine region, producing both white and red wines, this estate was founded by the Carrel family, who have been winemakers from father to son since 1830—spanning six generations. Specializing in wine production since the 1970s under Eugène Carrel and led by his son Olivier starting in 1994, the estate—with its 33 hectares situated on the steep slopes of Mont de la Charvaz and Mont du Chat—was taken over in 2022 by Thomas Senger, a young entrepreneur native to Savoie and a wine enthusiast.
