The Iconic Alpine Red: Domaine Quenard Mondeuse

From the picturesque slopes of the Savoie region, the Mondeuse Red Wine from Domaine Quenard & Fils is a full-flavoured, characterful red that has garnered a cult following among UK wine enthusiasts. This age-old Alpine grape, grown by the expert Quenard family, yields a wine of profound depth and structure, often likened to a mountain-grown Syrah.

Tasting Notes & Character

In the glass, it presents a deep purple colour. The bouquet is highly expressive, featuring concentrated aromas of dark bramble fruit, raspberry, and violet, beautifully complemented by a distinct peppery spice. On the palate, the wine is firm and robust in its youth, with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a bright, refreshing acidity that cuts through richness. It is a serious, gastronomic wine with genuine finesse.

Pairing & Service

This Mondeuse is perfectly suited for rich, cold-weather comfort food. Decanting is recommended when young. Serve at 16°C.

• Food Pairings: Classic Lamb Shank Casserole, Roast Duck Breast, Beef & Ale Stew, Game Pie, Mature Aged Cheddar.
• Maturation: This wine has excellent potential. Cellar for 2 to 5 years to see the tannins soften and tertiary notes of truffle emerge.
