Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Mondeuse produces a crimson red wine. It offers delicate aromas of red fruits (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry) mixed with spicy notes. Supple and generous in the mouth with a hint of violets.

This wine will seduce when paired with red meat (game) and also Savoy cheeses such as Tomme or Savoy Gruyere.

Professional Ratings

  • 91

    After a long pre-fermentation cold soak and eight months aging post-fermentation on the lees, this wine is tight and tannic. All concentrated fruit and chocolate at first, it yields deep red fruits, green-peppercorn spice and floral scents of beeswax and fresh herbs. Decant the bottle if you open it now, or cellar it for a few years to allow the tannins to evolve.

One of the oldest and distinctive red grape varieties of Savoie, Mondeuse is showing great potential as global demand for this rare wine grows. Some of the best Mondeuse comes from the Bugey region or is sold as a varietal Vin de Savoie, often from a particular cru. Somm Secret—DNA profiling has confirmed that Mondeuse and Syrah are related. The two have a lot of common characteristics, namely a dense color with black fruit on the palate and herbal or spicy aromas.

Tucked up into the sheltered foothills of the Alps where conditions vary considerably from one spot to the next, the vineyards of Savoie are widely dispersed within three main growing districts. These are Seyssel, Bugey and general Savoie. Within these are 16 different cru vineyard areas.

The region boasts a large number of unique indigenous grapes, incidentally unrelated to any nearby regions’ varieties. The styles here tend toward organic and traditional. In the past, the dynamic summer and winter tourist population consumed most Savoie wine before it could leave the area but the recent interest in esoteric varieties and natural, artisan wine has brought a renewed interest to Savoie.

In Savoie's most northern vineyards near Lake Geneva, the Chasselas grape dominates. Moving south, the white grape known as Altesse (also sometimes called Roussette) is responsible for Roussette de Savoie as well as Roussette de Seyssel.

Just north of Chambéry the white, Jacquère grows in the cru of Jongieux, along with Altesse, and Chardonnay. In the cru of Chautagne, the red grapes Gamay, Pinot Noir, and, especially, the local Mondeuse do well.

Chambéry, once famous for its vermouth, contains the crus of Abymes, Apremont, Arbin, Chignin and Cruet.
