"Confidential vintage

Combining fatness and finesse in texture, already honeyed in its youth with toasty notes from the foudre, Le Grand Rebossan remains at the summit in terms of expressiveness and fullness. A cuvée that has established itself as a model in the region, and whose evolution will be interesting to follow over at least a decade of cellaring.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 15.5/20 (Vintage 2018) (Very good wine)

Domain rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

This 28-hectare estate has long been run by André and Michel. Michel's son Guillaume joined in 2009. The estate is located on the steep slopes of Torméry, south of Chignin. It was the grandfather who led its replanting in the 1950s. The estate avoids herbicides as much as possible, but cannot work all its plots by hand. Guillaume is trying his hand at organic farming on the two and a half hectares he took over to create the Côteau de Torméry estate. He is also experimenting with ageing in foudres or stoneware. A wide, coherent range with promising innovations.

About the domain :

Michel Quénard took over the family domaine, founded by his grandparents, in 1976. His son Guillaume joined him in 2009, after studying at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune and then at the Changins engineering school in Switzerland, and has since taken the helm of one of Savoie's most renowned estates, with a very consistent quality in both red and white wines.
