In the glass
Mountain red from 70-year-old vines in the French Alps that smells like a northern Rhone Syrah: pepper and violets, with grip but no weight.
Mondeuse is the Alps' own red grape, and Arbin is its home village. These 70 to 80 year old vines came to Brice Omont in 2022 from Louis Magnin, the grower who made Arbin's name. Violet, black pepper and blackcurrant, much like a northern Rhône Syrah. The grip is firm but fine, and the finish is long and stony.
