Mondeuse is a native red grape of Savoie — and it’s one of those wines that makes more sense once you’ve actually been there. Visiting the region, what stays with you is how many autochthonous grapes never really leave these valleys... 

In this oak-powered wine from 2024, there’s dark berry fruit and wild cherry, but what really stands out is the spice — that peppery, slightly wild edge that feels very Alpine. The tannins are present but fine, the acidity keeps everything lifted, and the whole thing has a kind of raw energy that makes it feel alive rather than composed. It’s the kind of wine that doesn’t explain itself too much — it just shows where it comes from. Perfect for red wine lovers that need to be surprised by Savoie.
