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!

Never seen this beautiful label in the U.S. (thanks @Owen Dallmeyer). Awesome to try such a solid Mondeuse with age. Faded fruit and tannins helped bring out the earth/mocha tones in this wine.

Very nuanced and unexpected. Cool weather and great minerality. A nice turn off the ol beaten path.

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