Domaine Prieure Saint Christophe
Tradition Vin de Savoie Mondeuse
Savoie, France
My first wine from the Savoie District in south eastern France near the foothills of the Alps. Thanks @Anthony Lombardi to awakening me to this district. Mondeuse performs well here. This wine had earthy mocha notes with a hint of tar. Barely medium weight , lacking in mid palate fruit power like we see in the Barossa for example coming from a much cooler environment here in Savoie. We see very little Mondeuse in Australia - Brown Brothers used to use it in a blend with Shiraz which was very long lived. Ultra Savoury and very good. Vive Le Difference!

Old school from the "Pope of Mondeuse" Michel Grisard. God bless the pope, brilliant and sublime. Amen.
