Very happy to try this unusual alpine grape. Aroma presents straightforwardly fruity at first, with notes of cranberry and wild raspberry, but with time develops some mineral funk, some gamey/muskiness, and some vegetal characteristics. Medium tannins, medium+ juicy acidity. For me, this sits somewhere between a Cru Beaujolais and a Loire Cab Franc. Nice! — 7 years ago
Fresh, floral, mineral-tinged raspberry and lingonberry. This is just fun and who really cares about anything else? — 7 years ago

Fuller and grippier than I thought it would be. Very well balanced, nice earth and a little funk. Just liked the label ;) — 9 years ago
Pleasant surprise smooth with a slight pepper. Enjoying at Char Cut Calgary a suggestion of their sommelier Matt. Highly recommended. — 9 years ago

These three were bright, vital and loaded with life. Served blind to a table of 11, the closest guess of their vintages was ‘13-‘15. They have such a long life ahead - 2004, 2005, 2006. — 5 years ago
Light bodied with little finish. Bright, fruity, and bitter — 6 years ago
Great Chignin. Fairly light body, ruby color, peppery. I opened it this morning for cooking and am highly tempted to drink before noon. Also good value -- not expensive. — 7 years ago
Very interesting blend of grapes! 41.5% Gros Manseng, 37% Sauvignon Gris, 13% Savagnin, 8.5% Mondeuse Blanche. Pretty aromatics of jasmine, lemon zest, and white flowers and a nice straw color to the wine. The pallet is high in acid, and full of bright citric fruits, creme fresh, lime, and light mineral tones to the finish. Would be lovely with oysters - not a wine you'd expect from Bordeaux necessarily but the Sauvignon Gris brings it back home. — 7 years ago

2011. Sort of a more austere cry Beaujolais: crushed rock and violets, just more rock and less fruit. — 9 years ago
Beautiful fresh blueberries, blackberries, and pomegranate with lovely minerality and acidity and completely balanced soft tannins...in love... — 11 years ago
Jean-Yves Peron is making some of the best natural wines I've ever tasted! Not only is he an incredibly entertaining man, he is super kind!! This 2004 mondeuse was beautiful with red fruits and lovely earthy undertones!! — 11 years ago

Loved the description on the website saying “It's the wild and mysterious light-bodied red that makes Pinot Noir taste like a Republican.” So true. Light chillable red. Cherry blood orange acidity hint of pepper and wet stones. No “funk” here just subtle earthy delight. — 5 years ago
