New vintage, 2009 rated: RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20 (Coup de Coeur), Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
Vintage after vintage, we continue to love this complex palette of red fruit and peppery spice aromas, the true signature of Arbin's star Mondeuse grape variety, which expresses itself wonderfully on these small, steep, south-facing plots. An ambassadorial cuvée par excellence that once again reveals the breed of its great terroir!

Expert opinion

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Estate rated (2012 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality production)

About the domain :

"Louis and Joseph Trosset pay tribute to Mondeuse, the difficult and demanding Savoy grape par excellence. It doesn't tolerate mediocrity or average ripeness. On their 4.50-hectare estate, the Trosset sons have understood this and work it with great care. As a result, the cuvées are often marvellous, animal, peppery, spicy...".

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Domaine rated (2013 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

"This 4-hectare estate is located on the beautiful slopes of the village of Arbin, a prime Mondeuse terroir. Masterfully managed by two brothers, Joseph (in the vineyard) and Louis (in the cellar), the family estate boasts vines that are on average 25 years old. The soils are worked, vinification is carried out by plot, fermentations are classic and the wines are aged in vats for 8 to 12 months. Mondeuses have an incredible pedigree and are distinguished by their class and aromatic purity, often with an aniseed-like freshness. The very low volumes produced make this estate an address too confidential, but one that produces wines of consistent quality and great ageing capacity."

Note and review by M. BRUNO D. Published on 02/03/2014

Beautiful nose of red fruits and spices, silky mouthfeel, very digestible but complex and long, reminiscent of a very fine Syrah.
