Wine Information

The vineyard is located in Poisy in Haute-Savoie. It enjoys an alpine climate with a view of nearby Mont Blanc. The Mondeuse grapes come from a total of two hectares, spread across three vineyards, some of which are extremely steep and lie between 350 and 450 meters above sea level. The terroir lies in Desingy, Collonges, and Peillonnex. The soils are a mixture of calcareous clay, glacial debris, and rock. The yield is 25 hl/h. The grapes are 90% destemmed to avoid astringency and aged in older barrels for two winters before being bottled unfiltered.

Colour

Deep yet slightly transparent purple

Nose

The Quintessence de Mondeuse offers a truly astonishing interplay of aromas, which you can basically already guess from the colour. The wine is dense and dark fruity, yet transparent and extremely fresh. It smells of elderberries and blackberries with a subtle sweetness, balanced with some graphite and ink, cinnamon and marzipan, and a hint of warm forest floor.

Palate

On the palate, the Quintessence de Mondeuse develops a tension between concentration and transparency, darkness and clarity. The wine is almost like a high-mountain Syrah with notes of blackberries, crisp plums, cherries, and some bitter almonds, zest and the juice of blood oranges, a touch of bresaola, and pepper. The tannin is polished and the acidity is as powerful and clear as a mountain stream.
