Delicate, low alcohol, highly expressive nose of violets, cherries, cinnamon and clay earth. On the palate, tart red and blue fruit, floral and peppery. Tastes a bit like a cross between Beaujolais and lighter style northern Rhone. Drinks every bit as lovely as that sounds.

Who knew Mondeuse from the Savoie could age like this! I bought it thinking it was probably dead, and it was SINGING.

Mineral, powdery, flinstone and fresh grape juice. Fine grained tannins and a lot of acidity coming from fresh mountainous vineyard. Great personality and unusual wine.
