    Description Vin de Savoie Arbin Mondeuse "La Noire"

    Estate

    Château de Mérande is a prominent estate in Savoie known for its commitment to showcasing local grape varieties in exceptional terroirs. This family-run domain preserves traditional know-how, combining strict methods with respect for the land.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard is located in the Savoie region, characterized by a mountainous climate with significant temperature variations that promote aromatic concentration in the grapes. The clay-limestone soils contribute to elegant and refined wines typical of the local appellation.

    Wine

    This red wine, made from Mondeuse, stands out for its freshness, spicy notes, and balanced tannic structure. It perfectly reflects the quality identity of Savoie reds, with an aromatic expression combining red fruits and spices.

    Vintage

    The 2017 vintage benefited from favorable conditions, with a warm and dry summer allowing optimal grape maturity. This led to a wine with good concentration and aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    The vinification follows traditional methods, with a long maceration to extract the aromatic richness and tannins of Mondeuse grapes. Aging was mainly in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, with a slight oak maturation adding some complexity.

    Grape Variety

    Mondeuse

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Deep ruby red with slight violet highlights.
    • Nose: Aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, complemented by typical spicy and peppery notes of Mondeuse.
    • Palate: Fresh attack, fine and well-integrated tannins, medium length with nice liveliness and slightly peppery finish.

    Serving

    Serve between 57 and 61°F (14-16°C). Decanting for an hour can be beneficial to release aromas, especially if the wine is young.

    Food Pairings

    Dry-aged rib steak, herb gratin dauphinois, aged Époisses cheese, traditional Savoyard potée, or herb-crusted rack of lamb.

    Occasions

    Gathering with friends over a hearty dish, family dinner for a convivial Sunday, or relaxed gastronomic evening in a mountainous setting.

    Aging Potential

    Can be enjoyed now but will gain complexity over 5 to 8 years. Optimal drinking window between 2024 and 2027.
