Savoie
Initially recognized as a VDQS in 1957, Vin de Savoie acquired AOC status in 1973. Originating from a much larger vineyard (20,000 hectares at the end of the 19th century), Vin de Savoie vines occupy a series of ecological niches where exposure, altitude and soils determine highly favorable conditions. Houses such as Domaine Louis Magnin, Domaine Gilles Berlioz and Domaine Charles Trosset, with the quality of their crus, perfectly express these characteristics.

White Vin de Savoie accounts for 71% of total volume. There are 15 "Vin de Savoie" denominations and 4 "Roussette de Savoie" denominations. These denominations alone account for 64% of total wine volume. The "Vin de Savoie" AOC can produce red wines with Gamay, Pinot and Mondeuse grapes, as well as white wines with Chardonnay, Roussanne, Altesse and Jacquère. These last two varieties are only found in the Savoyard vineyards. Jacquère alone accounts for over 1,000 hectares of the 2,000-hectare vineyard. Mondeuse, another typical Savoy grape variety, can be used to produce great red Savoy wines with spicy, tannic flavors. The Arbin appellation is the benchmark for this product, aimed at discerning consumers.

"An auteur wine that will awaken your senses!

A tribute cuvée to the duo Adrien and Gilles Berlioz, his cousin, Cuvée des Gueux is like a spring breeze. We close our eyes and let ourselves be carried away by the delicate fragrances of white flowers in a pretty meadow... An intense, joyful, crisp white with a liveliness that awakens the senses. A vin d'auteur to be aerated in advance for even more flavor.

"The refinement of Savoie

"Aged in concrete eggs, terracotta jars and foudre, this Chignin Bergeron, made from 50-year-old Roussannes grapes, is remarkable for its finesse and harmony, with aromas of vine peach, apricot and white pepper, supported by fine bitters on the finish." (Le Guide Hachette 2023). In the 15th century, the Dukes of Savoy shared the steepest slopes to cultivate the best local grape varieties. In Chignin, Bergeron has its favorite terroir: the Torméry hillside, renowned for the quality of its wines.

"A royal red

Voie Royale 2023, made from Mondeuse grapes, has a beautiful dark purplish-purple color. Aromas of fresh red fruits and spices are present on the nose, with hints of violet and blackcurrant. On the palate, typical Mondeuse with lovely ripe tannins, there's amplitude and salinity, underpinned by a fine mineral structure. Enjoy with a good raclette!

"You can bite into a ripe apricot, a real treat!

This Grand Blanc, with its deep golden yellow color, has surprising floral notes. Its fresh, mineral and apricot notes are the hallmark of a Bergeron of fine origin. On the palate, it asserts itself with generosity, recalling the unctuousness of ripe apricots. The finish is enhanced by a slight bitterness of fresh almond and minerality. A perfect match for pan-fried foie gras, Bresse poultry or summer Beaufort.

"Its finesse and elegance are the signature of the estate.

"La Belle Romaine is the flagship Mondeuse cuvée at Château de Mérande. It offers immediate notes of rose and violet. The palate is savory, with well-integrated tannins and a spicy character on the finish." (Le Guide RVF 2025). An exceptional cuvée, floral, fruity and spicy, expressing the soul of Savoy.

"A balancing Roussanne

"Roussanne thrives on the steeply sloping cailloutis of the Chignin hillsides. It has produced this delicate Bergeron, with stone fruit aromas, a supple, affable palate and a lovely almond finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2025). Tasty and fresh, this is a lovely, spicy, subtle white!

"Cuvée star

Combining fatness and finesse in texture, Grand Rebossan remains at the top in terms of expressiveness and fullness. A cuvée that has established itself as a model in the region, it will be interesting to follow its development over at least a decade of cellaring.

"Noble grape variety, wine of character

A noble grape variety, Mondeuse leaves no one indifferent when tasted in its first spring. It enthralls some and ruffles the sensibilities of others, shaking up the taste buds with its structure and tannins. If you can forget about it, even if only for a year, it softens to reveal its charms and velvety texture. Its mountain image is transformed into an invigorating, seductive beverage, with aromas of raspberry and blueberry, a peppery flavor and a bouquet of autumn flowers.

"The pure, gourmet expression of Roussanne".

"Les Bergerons 2022 opened within a few months, Chez les Béroux showing itself to be more lively and fragrant." (Le Guide RVF 2024). This Bergeron flatters with its unpretentious retranscription of the characteristics of the Roussanne grape. It offers a nose of fleshy dried apricot mixed with spicy gingerbread notes. The palate is intense, round and tender, with a hint of constructive bitterness.

"A sparkling, stunning, fascinating wine!"

This Raipoumpou cuvée takes its name from a wild radish planted by Adrien's wife in their garden. Its racy, generous nose reveals a beautiful character that's not lacking in spice! On the palate, the wine's tonicity and delicious aromatics combine to create a full-bodied, mineral and delicate wine.

"The prince charming of these woods, between honeyed gourmandise and yellow fruit!"

Here's a Roussanne that appeals enormously. Well-defined, spicy, with a hint of lactic acidity, expressive... A touch of yellow fruit and honey characterize this superb Savoy white, full-bodied, rich and fresh, perfectly balanced and long on the palate.

"A taut, floral and invigorating white!

The date 1248 on this cuvée refers to a catastrophe that took place at the time, when a gigantic landslide covered part of the Chambéry cluse and the Grésivaudan valley. The vines for this wine were planted on this scree by the family's grandfather in 1919. Today, this cuvée carries us away with its floral aromas, refreshing minerality and beautiful fruity structure.
