DESCRIPTION
The Arbin cru is recognized as the best terroir for Mondeuse, thanks to its clay-limestone scree exposed full south. The "La Brova" cuvée from Louis Magnin comes from a plot of old vines (about 50 years old) cultivated biodynamically, producing grapes of exceptional concentration.
Vinified for aging, this Mondeuse benefited from a long vatting period (30 days) and patient aging of 18 months in barrels or large oak vats (foudres). The 2018 vintage, sunny and generous, now offers a developed wine, where the fire of youth has given way to fascinating aromatic complexity.
The palate is powerful with well-integrated tannins. It exhales notes of sweet spices, white pepper, and a finish that stretches out long on undergrowth aromas. This great red wine will accompany dishes of choice: a beef fillet with reduced sauce, 7-hour lamb, or roasted poultry with parsnip puree.
REGION
Savoie
France
Savoie is a mountainous French wine region near the Swiss border. The region is highly fragmented by its mountain terrain. The cool climate of Savoie explains why lively white wines dominate production. Although reds struggle to ripen in this kind of climate, Savoie is the home of Mondeuse, a red grape used to make wines with a marked bitterness.
