Savoie Mondeuse 2019 Domaine Dupasquier
This Savoie Mondeuse 2019, as its name suggests, is a red wine made from 100% Mondeuse, an indigenous grape variety of the area that has characteristics typical of Syrah (because the vineyards are located in the south-west of the region, near the Rhone valley).
Harvesting is done by hand, as is the selection of the grapes, followed by spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts and finally ageing in old, neutral barrels for one year. This wine from Domaine Dupasquier has a not too intense ruby red colour, a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay.
The nose expresses aromas of red fruits, spices such as black pepper and balsamic notes of liquorice. The taste is soft, fruity and structured, with a well-presented tannic texture. It can be enjoyed at a young age but even better after 5/8 years of ageing.
