"A Mondeuse from young vines, vinified in vats with 50% whole grapes. The fruit is scintillatingly bright, the palate sapid and delicious, the tannin still a little grainy. A thirst-quenching wine in all its simplicity". (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) Very, very good!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
A Mondeuse from young vines, vinified in vats with 50% whole grapes. The fruit is scintillatingly bright, the palate sapid and delicious, the tannin still a little grainy. A thirst-quenching wine in all its simplicity.
About the domain :
Following the death of his father in 2011, Fabien began recovering family vineyards with his partner Chloé. Today, the estate has grown to 25 hectares, mainly in Arbin, half red, half white. A new winery was built in 2017. The reds are in the process of being certified organic, and the whites will follow. The estate is experimenting with aging in amphorae and concrete eggs. The range is representative of Savoy wines, well distributed and at affordable prices. The domaine is going from strength to strength.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Fabien Trosset took over the family domaine in 2011 following the death of his father: at the time, 7 ha in Arbin - one of the crus devoted to Mondeuse - and a harvest delivered entirely to the cooperative. Today, the winemaker vinifies on the estate and has increased the planted area to 24 ha, a large part of which is devoted to Mondeuse.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
A light, available, friendly Savoy wine.
About the domain :
In 2011, Fabien Trosset and his partner Chloé took over the estate from Jean-Louis Trosset, first cousin of Louis and Joseph Trosset. In 2013, they expanded the estate with part of the Joseph Trosset vineyard. Most of the vineyard is planted on the Arbin terroir, featuring the Mondeuse grape variety, whose interpretations range from flowing fruit wines to ambitiously aged cuvées. Perfectly mastered, the wines, including the whites, have undeniably gained in definition.
