La Côte, Mondeuse noire, Le Satyre - 2022

Provenance: Vaud
Appellation: La Côte
Domain: Le Satyre, N. Graff
Grape variety(ies): Mondeuse noir
On-call time: 10 years
Alcohol degree: 12%

Once the majority red grape variety in the Alps, Mondeuse Noire has all but disappeared from the canton of Vaud, except in Lavaux, a little in the Chablais and now on the Côte, thanks to Noémie Graff. When yields are kept under control, the result is an expressive, shimmering red, fragrant with red fruit and pepper. On the palate, the acidity is 'ripe', contributing to the balance of a wine with character.

Technique

Viticulture

The plots are located in Begnins, with a few square metres in Luins. The soils are derived from limestone bedrock, more or less developed on a sandy-stony Rhodanian moraine. Located at the foot of the Jura, these plots benefit from the drying power of the Joran, which creates a favourable microclimate. The work in green is done by hand, from pre-pruning to harvesting.

Oenology

Manual harvesting. The grapes are not sulphited and are yeasted with a tank foot, with no chaptalisation. The maceration is traditional, a short week, with daily pumping over. The wine is aged in vats for several months, the duration varying according to the year. The wine is filtered before bottling because of the low SO2 content. This cuvée is the most emblematic of the estate, a historic wine.
