Domaine de L'Idylle
Vin de Savoie Arbin Mondeuse Noir
Arbin, Savoie, France
Crazy good - “glacial ice water” with lemon peel and wet stones pretty much sums this up. Try Savoie whites. Brilliant.

Nose of red clay, marjoram, sausages, very herbal, mineral clay crispness, savory. Mondeuse grape, black pepper. Matt said " I knew you you would like the nose because it smells like pure dirt"

Terrible- I should have known to stay away from a Savoie red but it’s been years and I wanted to revisit the region. It’s light bodied to a fault but not elegant - tasted watered down and lacking in tannins & acidity - just couldn’t find anything redeeming. These are wines people say “put a chill on it and drink it like a Rose’” - I guess you could but not for $17

Always love this in every vintage. A perfect ringer for your Northern Rhone/Syrah tasting. Plenty of savory notes with impressive tannic structure. Like smelling and tasting freshly ripe blackberries. Love it.
