This wine is from Domaine Bouvet and is a mondeuse from the Savoie alpine region of France. Mondeuse is little seen outside of Savoie but is of a wine style of interest. The grape variety is genetically related to syrah. This wine from the 2021 vintage reminds a little of a gamay with a northern Italian sensibility. It has intense, savoury aromas of red fruits, iodine and earth. The palate has high acidity and raspberry fruit and earth characters. The alcohol is a modest 12%. This interesting wine will suit drinking over the next 2 to 3 years. Review Rating: Good (★★★, 86 points). Website: Domaine Bouvet. Tasted: January 2025. Like: Subscribe.
