“The initial nose is quite closed, but with an immediate richness of fruit and flavor; the whole, approachable profile offers genuine pleasure—an easy-drinking wine, perfect for any wine bar or bistro. Beautiful texture on the palate, peppery character, juicy, and a savory finish, true to its style. A fine success. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide). With its purple hue, this Mondeuse champions finesse while giving pride of place to its rich, indulgent character. A wine with aging potential for enthusiasts to discover.

About the wine:
The initial nose is quite restrained, yet it offers an immediate, luscious burst of fruit and flavor; the wine is easy to drink and a true delight, making it perfect for any wine bar or bistro. It has a rich texture on the palate, with peppery notes and a juicy, savory finish that stays true to its character. A fine success.
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the most iconic figures in the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to downsize the estate to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While their lineup is small, both their white and red wines are absolutely stunning.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
We also recommend waiting for the iconic 2018 Mondeuse Fille d'Arbin—vigorous, concentrated, and well-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 vineyard area has shrunk, meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—enables Louis Magnin to achieve exceptional expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency across his various vintages 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 vintages aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.
