NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Maison Angelot Bugey Mondeuse offers enticing aromas of dark berries, such as blackcurrants and blackberries, along with hints of spices and earthy undertones.The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a solid texture and rather high, but well-integrated tannins. In terms of taste, this wine showcases a beautiful balance between fruitiness and savory notes. The dark berry flavors continue to dominate, accompanied by touches of black pepper and a touch of smokiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruits and subtle spices.
