Often overlooked, the red wines of Savoie made from Mondeuse offer a unique profile: deep colour, fine tannins, alpine freshness and aromas of dark fruits, pepper and sometimes violet. This indigenous grape variety produces structured yet never heavy wines, which gain in complexity after 3 to 8 years in the bottle (especially the crus from Arbin or Montmélian). Less well-known than the great classics, the red wines of Savoie based on Mondeuse win over enthusiasts in search of originality and easy-drinking wines, perfect with mountain cuisine.
