Wine Information

The vineyard is located in Poisy in Haute-Savoie. With a view of nearby Mont Blanc, it enjoys a temperate continental climate. The Mondeuse grapes come from a total of two hectares, spread across three vineyards, some of which are extremely steep, at altitudes between 350 and 450 meters. The terroir is located in Desingy, Collonges, and Peillonnex. The soils are a mixture of calcareous clay, glacial debris, and rock. The yield is 20 hl/h. The grapes are 90% destemmed to avoid astringency and aged in older barrels for two winters before being bottled unfiltered.

Colour

Fairly transparent garnet red

Nose

The Quintessence de Mondeuse offers a complex yet drinkable aroma of sweet, concentrated cherries, some elderberry and blackberry, a hint of mint, cinnamon, and cubeb pepper, as well as very fine, subtle notes of wood. The Mondeuse appears juicy and extremely fresh.

Palate

On the palate, one almost has the impression of Gamay pairing with Syrah. The Quintessence offers impressive tension, juiciness, and transparency. The aromas are reminiscent of cherries and cherry stones, some pomegranate juice and blood orange, red berries, and dark fermentation notes of black cardamom, tobacco, and tea. The tannin is polished, and the acidity is clear and vibrant, like a mountain stream. Everything flows and appears pure and clear.
