Domaine Des Ardoisières Cuvée Améthyste Rouge Domaine Igp Vin Des Allobroges, 2022

Domaine des Ardoisières Cuvée Améthyste Rouge is a striking Savoie red built around Mondeuse Noire, a historic grape that has long been part of the Alpine wine tradition. From one of the region’s most admired estates, it combines rarity, elegance, and a distinctly mountain-born character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with a vibrant, youthful edge. The nose tends to be lifted and aromatic, with notes of wild berries, black pepper, violets, and a subtle herbal freshness. On the palate, Mondeuse Noire often brings bright acidity, fine tannins, and a savory, mineral-driven profile that makes the wine feel both energetic and refined. The 2022 vintage should offer generous fruit, but with enough structure to age gracefully for several years, developing more complex earthy and spice-driven nuances over time.

Production
Produced in Savoie under the Vin des Allobroges appellation, this wine comes from a terroir shaped by steep alpine slopes, cool mountain air, and mineral-rich soils that help preserve freshness and precision. Domaine des Ardoisières is known for careful, low-intervention work in the vineyard, with hand harvesting and selection aimed at capturing the purity of the fruit. Vinification is typically focused on gentle extraction and minimal manipulation to express the grape and site as clearly as possible.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with roast poultry, duck, grilled lamb, charcuterie, and earthy dishes like mushroom risotto or lentils with herbs. It also works very well with Alpine cheeses and cured meats. Serve slightly cool, around 15–16°C, and consider a short decant if the wine is showing tightly when opened.

Producer
Domaine des Ardoisières is one of the reference names in modern Savoie, renowned for reviving and elevating the region’s potential through meticulous viticulture and a strong focus on terroir expression. The estate has earned a reputation for producing some of the most distinctive wines in the French Alps, with a style that balances finesse, purity, and depth. Its success has helped bring renewed international attention to Savoie and its native grapes.
