Jean Yves Péron Vers La Maison Rouge

Vintage: 2022

Origin: Haute-Savoie, France

Grapes: Mondeuse

Alcohol: 12%

Vers La Maison Rouge takes a gentler approach this year with Mondeuse from Albertville and Fréterive, that is pressed directly and aged in barrels. The result is paler in hue and softer in texture compared to previous vintages, showing delicate red fruit with just a touch of residual sugar that adds to its immediate appeal. On the palate, expect bright berry flavours with that characteristic Mondeuse spice, all wrapped up in silky tannins that make it dangerously quaffable. This is the kind of wine that's best enjoyed in one sitting for pure drinking pleasure, but don't underestimate its ageing potential – the underlying structure means it will develop beautifully over the coming years.
