Mondeuse de Savoie

One of the best Mondeuse! Blackberry, smoked meat, pine.

Reductive and needs air.

Medium ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of wild berries, red plum, cherry, blackberry, purple flower; dry, medium plus acid, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; beautifully balanced, elegant, outstanding

Medium ruby; medium plus intensity aromas of alpine strawberry, red currant, red cherry, wild herbs, lightly floral; dry, medium plus acid, medium minus tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; lovely, light, perfumed and spicy

Good but a little underwhelmed given what I’ve heard about this wine

Right place, right time, right mood

Enjoyed this way more than the 16. A rustic style of Mondeuse.

Fantastic and rustic

McClintic says this wine’s optimal window starts in 2024, but it’s already drinking beautifully. Sure, the acid will work it’s magic over the next X number of years. But it’s full of life and character right now. Just short of stunning.

Black plum, blackberry, sage, wild mountain herbs.
