Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche 2025 Domaine Fabien Trosset

Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche: a rare cuvée by Fabien Trosset

The Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche cuvée by Fabien Trosset highlights a grape variety that is both rare and remarkable. Often overshadowed by its red cousin, Mondeuse Blanche is nonetheless part of the Savoy wine heritage. It produces wines of great finesse, where alpine freshness meets beautiful aromatic richness.

Based in Arbin, Fabien Trosset cultivates his vines with particular attention to respecting the terroir and the natural expression of the grape varieties. With Avalanche, he offers a modern interpretation of Mondeuse Blanche while remaining true to the identity of this rare grape. Each vintage reflects the characteristics of the Savoy climate and reveals an elegant, precise, and authentic personality.

A confidential grape variety at the heart of the Savoy vineyard

Mondeuse Blanche is an ancient grape variety from Savoie with very limited cultivated areas. Long unknown, it is now experiencing a true resurgence of interest thanks to the work of passionate winemakers who highlight its potential.

The vines benefit from a privileged environment, marked by the influence of the Alps. The thermal amplitudes between day and night favor a slow maturation of the grapes while preserving their natural acidity. The clay-limestone soils add tension, depth, and complexity to the wines.

This combination of terroir and climate allows for perfectly balanced grapes, capable of producing refined and expressive whites.

Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche: an elegant aromatic palette

On the first nose, this cuvée reveals aromas of white flowers, hawthorn, and honeysuckle. Fresh pear, white peach, ripe lemon, and crunchy apple notes follow. With aeration, hints of almond, flint, and fine herbs add further complexity.

The palate is charming with its balance. The attack is lively without being austere. The texture offers volume while maintaining a remarkable sensation of freshness. The minerality accompanies the wine to a long, saline, and delicately lemony finish.

This aromatic precision makes Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche a cuvée particularly suited for gastronomy.

A winemaking process that respects the fruit

Fabien Trosset favors an approach that aims to preserve the purity of the grape variety.

The grapes are harvested at perfect maturity to maintain their natural balance. The vinifications are carried out with precision to promote the expression of primary aromas and preserve the characteristic freshness of Mondeuse Blanche.

Aging adds depth without masking the fruit or minerality. The result is a harmonious, elegant wine that is true to its terroir.

The best food and wine pairings

Thanks to its balance between freshness, volume, and aromatic finesse, this cuvée pairs well with a wide variety of dishes.

• pan-seared scallops;

• goat cheeses or young Beaufort.

Served between 10 and 12 °C, it reveals all its complexity after a few minutes of aeration.

A great aging potential

While this cuvée captivates immediately with its freshness, it also evolves gracefully over the years.

After four to eight years of aging, the aromas gain depth and develop notes of fine honey, dried fruits, beeswax, and candied fruits. The mineral backbone remains prominent and brings a lot of balance to the whole.

This capacity for evolution makes Mondeuse Blanche Avalanche an excellent choice for lovers of age-worthy white wines.
