“The initial nose is quite restrained, but with an immediate, mouthwatering burst of fruit and flavor; the well-balanced, approachable wine offers genuine pleasure—an easy-drinking wine, perfect for any wine bar or bistro. It has lovely body on the palate, with peppery character, juiciness, and a savory finish that remains true to its style. A fine success. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide). With its purple hue, this Mondeuse embodies finesse while showcasing its rich, indulgent character. A wine with aging potential for enthusiasts to discover.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
The initial nose is quite subdued, but with an immediate, luscious burst of fruit and flavor; the wine’s approachable character delivers genuine pleasure—it’s easy to drink and perfect for any wine bar or bistro. It has a full-bodied mouthfeel, peppery notes, juiciness, and a savory finish that stays true to its character. A fine success.
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the iconic figures of the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to reduce the estate’s size to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While the selection is small, both the white and red wines are absolutely stunning.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
We also recommend waiting for the iconic 2018 Mondeuse Fille d'Arbin—vigorous, tight, and structured, it has become more reserved since its dazzling youth.
About the estate:
This artisanal estate has played a pivotal role in the contemporary history of the Savoyard vineyards. Although the area under cultivation has decreased, meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—enables Louis Magnin to achieve the highest levels of expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates, across his various vintages, a consistency that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the Mondeuses—flamboyant yet meant for aging—we continue to prefer (often, though not this year!) the cuvées aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.
