Arbin Mondeuse Le coteau d’Albert
« A wine you must discover: the exaltation of a one-of-a-kind red wine from Savoy».
Appellation: controlled origin form Savoy (AOC)
Terroir: Our vineyard is planted on the steep inclines of Arbin on a hillside, facing south. La Mondeuse grows on clay-limestone soils which confers to the terroir its uniqueness.
Grape variety: 100% Mondeuse. Ancient varietals of Savoy that gave birth to Syrah.
Management of the vineyard: Sustainable agriculture: grass growing between rows, mechanical weeding under the rows, reasonable level of treatment for the vines in accordance with the risks of diseases.
winemaking / maturing: Hand picking, maceration: 50% semi-carbonic maceration 50 % de- stemming. Maceration: 2 or 3 weeks, controlled temperature. Matured in tanks for 6 months.
Tasting: The wine is characterized by a purple-red to dark color. The nose reveals concentrated little red berries aromas as well as spring flowers, like violet. The palate is generous and peppered. The nice natural acidity of the grape and soft tannins create a remarkable harmony. Have fun trying to guess the aroma: violet, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, green pepper and much more!
Service: ideal temperature: 15-16°C. Can be drunk now or stored (5-8 years).
Gastronomy: May be enjoyed with a red meat, lamb and cheeses from the mountains. After a few years, it will be ideal to taste it with big-game animals (wild boar, deer,…)
