Rated estate (2024 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Following his father’s death in 2011, Fabien began acquiring the family’s vineyards with his partner Chloé. The estate now spans 25 hectares, primarily in Arbin, with half planted to red grapes and half to white. A new winery was built in 2017. The reds are currently undergoing organic certification, and the whites will follow. The estate is experimenting with aging in amphorae and concrete eggs. The lineup is representative of Savoie wines, well-distributed, and affordably priced. The estate is gaining momentum.

About the estate:

Fabien Trosset took over the family estate in 2011 following his father’s death: at the time, it comprised 7 hectares in Arbin—one of the villages renowned for Mondeuse—and the entire harvest was sold to a cooperative. Today, the winemaker produces his wine on the estate and has expanded the vineyard to 24 hectares, a large portion of which is dedicated to Mondeuse.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Rated estate (2024 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

Woody, spicy notes; the body holds up well; a confident and masterful, sophisticated style.

About the estate:

In 2011, Fabien Trosset and his partner Chloé took over the estate of Jean-Louis Trosset, the first cousin of Louis and Joseph Trosset. In 2013, they expanded the estate by acquiring part of the vineyards from the Joseph Trosset estate. Most of the vineyard is planted on the Arbin terroir, showcasing the Mondeuse grape, which yields wines ranging from light, fruit-forward styles to ambitiously aged vintages with aging potential. Perfectly crafted, the wines—including the whites—have undeniably gained in definition.
