The Prieure Saint Christophe Mondeuse Tradition 2014 is a resplendent example of a true blue-blooded Savoie wine, courtesy of the revered late Michel Grisard. Produced in the esteemed French region of Savoie, it is a testament to singular viticultural mastery. Grown on the steep cliffs of Montmelian, the Mondeuse grape variety achieves its full potential here, manifesting in dark fruits and a striking savoury complexity aboard a sturdy, mineral backbone. Made according to biodynamic principles, this wine showcases Grisard's devotion to tradition and respect for Terroir. Characterised by a dense, opulent bouquet, the Prieure Saint Christophe Mondeuse Tradition 2014 benefits from organic cultivation practices, careful hand-picking and fermentation in conical oak vats. With its filigree tannin structure, an underpinning acidity and a profound depth of flavour, this gem from Prieure Saint Christophe is not just a wine, it is a sensory venture into Savoie's wine heritage. |

James Suckling (93)Complex aromas of blueberry, raspberry, and coffee follow through to a full body with soft and velvety tannins and a long juicy finish. So yummy right now, but give it another three to five years. Find the wine |

Decanter (96)This balances the generosity of damson and cassis on one side, with elegance and freshness on the other – the hardest thing to get right in a wine. Notes of eucalyptus, liquorice and spice on the finish, this is just delicious. It showcases the succulence of the vintage, which was given a springboard by the work done at the château. The grapes were harvested over four weeks, compared to just three in 2010, which was also an exceptional vintage. However 2015 received a lot more plot-by-plot work and also produced higher yields – 42hl/h compared to 32hl/h in 2010 – giving the fruit more capacity to develop. For me this is clearly the best wine I have ever tasted from the property. Made using 50% new oak barrels. |
