This is perhaps our favourite version of the Savoie’s famed red grape, Mondeuse. There’s none of this grape’s sometimes green, underripe character and plenty of pure blackcurrant fruit and light, bright acidity in perfect balance.
Jean Yves Péron
Jean Yves Péron is one of those winemakers who has such impeccable training, with the likes of Cornas’ Thierry Allemand and the Alsace’s Gerard Schueller, that he was always destined to make great wines himself. Now installed amongst the soaring Alps at the heard of the Savoie’s Tarentaise Valley, he makes wonderfully enigmatic wines from both the grapes (and other fruit) he sources from around France as well as from the 2ha of old vines he farms himself.
