Note: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Editor’s Choice
“Louis Trosset lets ‘nature take its course.’ The 2011 vintage is deep purple, with a nose of licorice, strawberry, and violet, chocolate, and prune, displaying rare complexity. The palate is sap-like and powerful, but still closed: we’ll have to wait until 2017 for it to fully open up. This wine should then be served with a rare rib of beef.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Rated estate (2012 guide): 4 stars (Very high-quality production)
About the estate:
“Louis and Joseph Trosset pay tribute to Mondeuse, the quintessential difficult and demanding grape variety of Savoie. It tolerates neither mediocrity nor average ripeness. On their 4.5-hectare estate, the Trosset sons have come to understand it and cultivate it with great care. The wines are therefore often marvelous, with animal notes, peppery, and spicy... ”

Rated estate (2013 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the 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 Mondeuse. 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 soils are worked, vinification is carried out by plot, 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, aniseed-like quality. The very small production volumes make this estate a hidden gem, yet it produces wines of consistent quality and great aging potential.”
