standout true farmers
about founded as a farm in the 1930s, expanded into winemaking in the 1960s by André. His son Michel joined in the 1970s, and now his son Guillaume is part of the team. High up in the foothills of the Alps, the land they farm is difficult and rocky, producing wines with real verve and tension. Somehow, they also manage to grow fig and olive trees in the snowy environment.

“Brut Nature” Crémant de Savoie NV ($32)
100% Jacquère, the most important grape variety in Savoie. It's well-suited to the clay-limestone soils found in the region and maintains naturally high acidity in the cool climate, making it very suitable for sparkling wine. The wine is made in the traditional method, spending one year on the lees for a lightly toasy texture.
