A new vintage, the 2009 was rated: RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20 (Coup de Coeur), Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
Vintage after vintage, we continue to love this complex palette of red fruit and peppery spice aromas—the true signature of Mondeuse, Arbin’s flagship grape variety, which expresses itself beautifully on these small, steep, south-facing plots. A quintessential flagship wine that once again showcases the character of its great terroir!

Rated estate (2012 guide): 4* Stars (Very high-quality production)
About the estate:
“Louis and Joseph Trosset pay homage to the Mondeuse, Savoie’s quintessential difficult and demanding grape variety. It tolerates neither mediocrity nor average ripeness. At the estate, across 4.50 hectares, the Trosset sons have come to understand it and cultivate it with great care. The vintages are therefore often marvelous—vibrant, peppery, and spicy...”

Rated estate (2013 guide) 2* Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
“This 4-hectare estate is situated on the beautiful hillsides of the village of Arbin, a terroir particularly suited to the Mondeuse grape. Expertly managed by two brothers, Joseph (in the vineyard) and Louis (in the cellar), the family-owned property features vines with an average age of 25 years. The soil is carefully tilled, winemaking is carried out on a plot-by-plot basis, fermentation follows traditional methods, and aging in tanks lasts 8 to 12 months. The Mondeuse wines possess incredible character and stand out for their elegance and aromatic purity, often with a fresh, anise-like note. The very small production volumes make this estate a hidden gem, yet it produces wines of consistent quality with great aging potential.”
