Savoie Mondeuse 2017
About the wine
Little-known red grape that's making quite a name for itself on the slopes
-
In the eastern corner of France sits Savoie which is where the Perrier family have been producing mouth-watering wines for 7 generations. Gilles recently took the reigns and couldn’t be happier to showcase his French alpine wines.
-
Mondeuse is an ancient red grape variety native to the slopes of the Savoie. It’s an easy drinking, food-friendly wine with eye boggling ageing potential that’s perfect for those that dare to venture off-piste.
-
Bright, peppery and crammed with juicy red fruits. Angel funding means Gilles can give this little grape its turn in the limelight and he can’t wait to hear what you think.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gilles Perrier
- Growing up with both his father and grandfather constantly out in the vineyards, how could Gilles not fall in love with wine?! He’s never more enthusiastic than when he is championing local varieties such as the Jacquere (between us that’s a fresh, fruity and very easy drinking grape...yum.)
- A few years ago they hit hard times with frosts wiping out 40% of their harvest. If ever there was a place that Angel support could make a huge difference it’s here.
- Gilles is so excited to join the Naked family. He can now, along with his brothers Philippe and Christophe, carry on the family tradition with pride.
