"The first nose is very reduced, but with an immediate greediness of fruit and flavour, the whole digestible ensemble provides a definite pleasure, an easy-drinking wine, perfect for all wine bars and bistros. The palate is full-bodied, peppery and juicy, with a sapid finish that's true to itself. A great success. (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve). In its crimson color, this Mondeuse advocates finesse, giving pride of place to gourmandise. A wine to be discovered by connoisseurs.

Domaine Louis Magnin
Savoie
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 89/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
The first nose is very reduced, but with an immediate greediness of fruit and flavour, the whole is easily digestible and a real pleasure, an easy-drinking wine, perfect for all wine bars and bistros. The palate is full-bodied, peppery and juicy, with a sapid finish that's true to itself. A great success.
About the domain :
The Magnin couple are among the emblematic figures of the Savoyard vineyards. These two hard-working vineyard enthusiasts, who have been certified organic since 2012, have decided to reduce the estate to three hectares from the 2018 harvest. A short range indeed, but in white as in red, the wines are a thing of beauty.

Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
We also advise you to wait for the emblematic Mondeuse Fille d'Arbin 2018, vigorous, tight, structured, it has closed up since its radiant youth.
About the domain :
This traditional estate has played a key role in the contemporary history of Savoyard vineyards. Although the surface area has shrunk, Louis Magnin's meticulous work in both vineyard and winery has enabled him to achieve the highest levels of expression in both red and white wines. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency through his different vintages that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the mondeuses, flamboyant but destined for ageing, we continue to prefer (often, but not this year!) vat-aged cuvées to those aged in barrels.
