Les Grangeons de L’Albarine, 'Mondouze le Château' 2020

Place: Ain, France

Grape: Mondeuse 

Vibe: Delightful

Grapes here come from vines planted in 2007 from massale selection from the ye olde Mondeuse strain from the legendary Prieuré St-Christophe estate. That's a lot of accolades in one sentence, but in essence it translates to an excellent wine - light and energetic with concentrated black cherries and violet aromatics and a peppery finish. Also, 10%? Is that even alcoholic?! ABV: 10%
