Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Oenologist Maxime Dancoine cultivates only a tiny vineyard, located in Aiton, at the western end of the Maurienne massif. Nevertheless, his wines are beginning to attract the attention of wine lovers. Highly meticulous, biodynamically inspired and certified organic since 2017, it is part of the diversity and ambition that characterize the generational renewal of Savoyard viticulture. This approach takes on its full meaning in light of the new plantings, which give priority to endemic grape varieties such as Jaubertin and Blanc de Maurienne.
