Domaine Des Ardoisières Cuvée Améthyste Rouge Domaine Igp Vin Des Allobroges, 2021

Domaine des Ardoisières Cuvée Améthyste Rouge is a striking Savoie red that brings together Mondeuse and Persan in a vivid, mountain-driven style. Sourced from one of France’s most distinctive alpine wine regions, it offers a rare glimpse into the character and elegance of the Vin des Allobroges classification.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, youthful color with a bright, polished edge. The nose is expressive and refined, often leaning toward dark berries, red currant, wild herbs, black pepper, and a subtle mineral or smoky note that reflects its alpine origins. On the palate, expect a lively, structured red with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savory core that gives the wine both energy and depth. The blend of Mondeuse and Persan can bring a mix of dark fruit, spice, floral lift, and earthy complexity, making it a wine that can be enjoyed young but also has the balance to age gracefully for several years.

Production
Domaine des Ardoisières is based in Savoie, where steep slopes, cool mountain air, and mineral-rich soils create a terroir well suited to aromatic, precise reds. The vineyard’s challenging alpine conditions help preserve freshness and complexity, and harvest is typically carried out carefully by hand to protect the integrity of the fruit. Vinification is usually focused on transparency and finesse, allowing the character of the grapes and site to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs well with roast poultry, duck, game birds, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and alpine cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, around 14–16°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting for 30–60 minutes can help open the wine and soften its structure, especially when young.

Producer
Domaine des Ardoisières has earned a strong reputation for reviving and showcasing the potential of Savoie’s historic but often overlooked vineyards. Known for crafting expressive, high-altitude wines with precision and personality, the estate has become one of the region’s most respected producers. Its work has helped bring greater attention to the quality and uniqueness of wines from the French Alps.
