Vendange Savoie Mondeuse

Domaine Vendange is a family run winery operated by Benjamin Vendange and Diane Gounel. Benjamin, who studied oenology and viticulture in Beaune before returning to Savoie in 2015, comes from a family that runs one of the largest vine nurseries in the region. Together with his partner Diane, an oenologist from Languedoc-Roussillon, Benjamin decided to start an estate with the family’s holdings. All of the couple's 10 hectares of vineyards are planted to glacial till / limestone scree soils with southern exposures. Their approach to vinification is to intervene as little as possible, letting the varietal character of their grapes shine through.

This wine needs decanting to fully express itself. Nose with floral (violet), fruit (myrtle, blackcurrant) and spicy notes (white pepper). The palate is fleshy supported by a pleasant tannic structure. Notes of cocoa, small black berries, pepper. Very well balanced and finishing moderately long. This would age very well.
