Domaine Vendange Mondeuse Le Coz 2019
Savoie, FranceLocated in Combe de Savoie, on the foothills of the Massif des Bauges, Domaine Vendange stretches over 10 organically farmed hectares, on south facing slopes of youthful glacial till / limestone scree. The Vendange family has been involved with the viticulture and agronomic industries for many years, and are one of the largest vine nurseries in the region. After studying viticulture and oenology in Beaune, Benjamin Vendange returned in 2015 to the family property. With his partner Diane Gounel, oenologist from Languedoc-Roussillon, the step was taken to start their own estate with the family’s holdings. From 20 year old vines, this mondeuse was destemmed and with 10 days on skins, native fermented in stainless prior to heading to a 50/50 mix of stainless and older barrels for 1 year's rest. Tight and bright, with a balsamic twist leading into wild cherry, juicy plum, blackcurrant, and pomegranate on a medium bodied frame. Tannins are slightly sticky, finishing with a dusting of soft spices. Best taken now, with a light chill.Tasted: 08 March 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | private liquor stores |
