Why choose a great Mondeuse from Arbin?

The cuvée La Rouge 2014 is a perfect illustration of this. The bouquet opens with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, and blueberry. With time and aeration, nuances of violet, black pepper, licorice, and undergrowth appear.

The palate combines finesse and depth. The tannins, once firm in their youth, are now perfectly integrated. The characteristic freshness of the grape variety brings balance and dynamism to the whole.

This harmonious evolution makes this vintage an excellent choice for wine lovers looking for matured wines.
