Domaine Des Ardoisières Cuvée Argile Rouge Domaine Igp Vin Des Allobroges, 2024

Domaine des Ardoisières Cuvée Argile Rouge 2024 is a distinctive Savoie red that brings together Mondeuse and Gamay in a vibrant, mineral-driven style. Sourced from one of France’s most characterful alpine wine regions, it offers freshness, energy, and a clear sense of place.

Tasting Notes
Expect a lively ruby color in the glass, with an aromatic profile that leans toward red berries, wild herbs, violet, and a subtle spicy edge. Mondeuse contributes lift and peppery complexity, while Gamay adds juicy fruit and supple charm. On the palate, the wine is fresh and energetic, with crisp acidity, fine tannins, and a stony mineral thread that keeps the fruit focused. It is a red built more for purity and detail than power, and while it can be enjoyed young for its brightness, it should also develop additional savory nuance over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Savoie under the Vin des Allobroges IGP designation, Cuvée Argile Rouge reflects the cool alpine terroir that gives the region its signature freshness and tension. The combination of Mondeuse and Gamay is well suited to these conditions, balancing aromatic lift, structure, and fruit. Vinification is geared toward preserving clarity and finesse, with an emphasis on expressing the grapes and the mountain-influenced site rather than heavy extraction or oak influence.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that works especially well with charcuterie, roast poultry, grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes, and alpine cheeses. Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not essential, but a short airing can help the wine open up if served young.
