Description

A vibrant and expressive summer red, this 2021 Mondeuse from Domaine Philippe et Sylvain Ravier offers a Syrah-like fruit profile but with a lighter, fresher character. Deep ruby in colour, the wine is bursting with ripe cherry, violets, and a touch of spice, balanced by a lively minerality and structured tannins. Juicy yet elegant, it’s perfect for serving slightly chilled on a warm day and makes a fantastic pairing for grilled meats.

History and Winemaking

Domaine Philippe et Sylvain Ravier is one of Savoie’s most respected producers, crafting terroir-driven wines that showcase the region’s cool-climate finesse. Mondeuse, a native variety of Savoie, is often compared to a lighter Syrah due to its vibrant fruit, floral notes, and spicy backbone. Grown in the Alpine foothills, where limestone-rich soils and a cool climate create naturally structured wines, this Mondeuse is aged carefully to retain its freshness and lively acidity.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby-hued with intense aromas of red cherries, blackberries, and violets, complemented by a touch of peppery spice. The palate is fleshy and structured, offering juicy red fruit, a hint of minerality, and well-integrated tannins, leading to a long, refreshing finish.

Pairings

This versatile, food-friendly red is perfect for barbecued lamb, grilled sausages, or roasted duck. For a lighter pairing, try it with charcuterie, Alpine cheeses like Tomme de Savoie, or wild mushroom risotto. Serve slightly chilled for a refreshing twist on a warm summer’s day.
