Bettane & Desseauve
The soul of the Mondeuse revealed: hyper-powerful, with impressive tannin and volume. This is the latest nugget to come from a new parcel not yet certified organic, but already very promising. Like all good things, Mondeuse needs to be waited for, as less than 3 to 5 years' ageing will reveal it to be closed and astringent. "If you know how to wait, you have everything to gain". (Italian proverb).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
Domain rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
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.

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 dedicated to Mondeuse.

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.
