Domaine Quenard & Fils Mondeuse – Vin de Savoie – Red – 2022:

 

Savoie’s Underrated Red Gem

The Mondeuse Red Wine from Domaine Quenard & Fils is a bold, structured expression of this Alpine varietal, an exceptional choice for the sophisticated palate. Sourced from steep, high-altitude vineyards in the Savoie region, this wine captures the essence of its mountain terroir. The Quenard family’s dedication to quality results in a powerful, yet elegant red that stands as a compelling alternative to Syrah or Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes & Profile

Displaying an intense purple hue, this Mondeuse offers a complex and highly aromatic nose. Expect dominant notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and violet, underscored by a signature hint of black pepper and forest floor spice. The palate delivers a full-bodied experience with silky but firm tannins and a refreshing, vibrant acidity-the hallmark of its Alpine origin. The finish is long, savory, and perfectly balanced.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Mondeuse is a true ‘mountain wine’ that excels with hearty dishes. Serve slightly chilled (60°F/16°C).

• Food Pairings: Rosemary Rack of Lamb, Beef Tenderloin with Mushrooms, Lamb Rogan Josh, Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, Aged Dry Jack Cheese.
• Cellaring: Enjoy young for its fruit-forward character or cellar for 2-5 years to allow the tannins to fully integrate.
