With a gentle oaky, spicy profile, the 2024 La Mondotte reveals aromas of dark berries, pepper and licorice mingled with mulberry notes. Medium-bodied, chewy and structured, it's layered with elegant tannins and a lively mid-palate that segues into an oaky, firm finish.

This has a crunchy, al dente character, showing sliced cherries, oranges and hints of iodine. Medium-bodied with a lovely drive and length. Compacted and serious. Nicely knit-together already. From organically grown grapes. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.

Bright crimson hue. Red fruit with a chalky, terroir nuance. Tannins ripe and fine but there’s quite a bit of tension. Fresh and digeste but could do with a little more fruit. Dry finish.

The 2024 La Mondotte is punchy and energetic, but it also needs to be approached with an open mind and palate. At 13% alcohol, the lowest I can remember here, La Mondotte is driven by strong limestone inflections and brisk acids more than anything else. Élevage will be everything. The combination of the growing season along with a move towards more freshness in the wines here yielded a Mondotte unlike any I can recall tasting. For readers who appreciate technical data, the super low 3.35pH is more typical of a white wine than a red!

Deep ruby/purple hued, the 2024 La Mondotte offers up impressive aromatics of cassis and black raspberries intermixed with scorched earth, graphite, and sappy, floral nuances. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, juicy acidity, and outstanding length.
Falstaff (94)
Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle edge brightening. Delicate aromas of blackberry and liquorice, heart cherry, orange zest, fine wood savouriness. Medium complexity, a hint of raspberry confit, red cherry, finesse-rich structure, mineral and persistent, a delicate food companion.
