(2016 vintage notes)

A precise Roussette, with soft notes of ripe apricot and quince, perfectly smooth. A dense white wine with a crisp finish, offering a lively balance. A stylish cuvée, quite simply superb.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rating (2019 guide) 15/20 (2016 vintage) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The Magnin couple are among the iconic figures of the Savoyard wine region. These two passionate winegrowers, who have been working organically since 2012, decided to reduce the estate to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. The range is certainly small, but both the white and red wines are truly beautiful.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

This artisanal estate has played a key role in the contemporary history of Savoyard winegrowing. Although the area under cultivation has decreased, meticulous work in both the vineyard and the cellar has enabled Louis Magnin to achieve excellence in both red and white wines. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency across his different vintages that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites favor mineral intensity. Among the flamboyant Mondeuses, which are intended for aging, we continue to prefer (often, but not this year!) the vintages aged in vats to those aged in barrels.
