Product Details
Description
The 2021 Mondeuse from Domaine Philippe et Sylvain Ravier is a fresh, lively red with a Syrah-like fruit profile. Deep ruby in colour, it bursts with aromas of ripe cherries, violets, and a hint of spice. The wine balances lively minerality and structured tannins. Juicy yet elegant, it’s perfect when served chilled on warm days and pairs beautifully with grilled meats.
History and Winemaking
Domaine Philippe et Sylvain Ravier is a well-known producer in Savoie. They create wines that reflect the region’s cool climate. Mondeuse, a local grape, is often compared to a lighter Syrah. The vines grow in the Alpine foothills, where limestone-rich soils create naturally structured wines. The wine is carefully aged to keep its freshness and bright acidity.
Tasting Notes
The wine has a deep ruby colour. It has aromas of red cherries, blackberries, and violets, with a touch of peppery spice. The palate is structured and juicy, with red fruit, minerality, and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and refreshing.
Pairings
This red pairs excellently with a variety of hearty dishes. Try it with barbecued lamb, where the smoky, tender meat enhances the wine’s fruity and spicy notes. Grilled sausages also complement the wine’s richness, bringing out its subtle spice and peppery undertones. Roasted duck offers a delicious match, with the wine’s tannins balancing the richness of the meat.
For lighter meals, the wine goes perfectly with charcuterie. The flavours of cured meats, like prosciutto or salami, bring out the wine’s fresh fruit and mineral character. Alpine cheeses, such as Tomme de Savoie or Gruyère, work wonderfully too, as their creamy texture and nutty notes pair beautifully with the wine’s structured body and elegant finish.
