Domaine Mondange Laudria Blanc 2020

Profile & Story

Domaine Mondange is a family estate on Corsica's eastern coast in Ghisonaccia, created in 2017 by siblings Laura and Andria Mondange after years of selling their grapes to the local cooperative. The vineyard sits largely on a clay-based plateau between 100-150m altitude, 10km from the sea, with a portion planted on rolled river stones; it is HVE-certified and in conversion to organic (AB) farming. The Laudria range takes its name from Laura and Andria themselves and represents the wild, singular character of eastern Corsica. Laudria Blanc is 100% Vermentinu from vines averaging 25 years old, trained in cordon de Royat at 4,000 vines/ha with yields capped around 40 hL/ha. Grapes are hand-harvested at dawn in crates, held in a cold room for 24 hours, then directly pressed with cold settling at 10°C; fermentation runs at 16-18°C, partly in concrete tank and partly in foudre, with aging split between concrete and wood.
