Savoie, also spelled Savoy, is a French department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in eastern France. As a wine region, Savoie consists of many isolated sub-regions and plots of vineyards scattered across four French departments: Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, Ain. Savoie neighbours Switzerland (to the East), the Jura region (to the North) and the little-known Bugey region, which is west across the Rhône river. The climate is continental with alpine and Mediterranean influences. Vines in Savoie are often planted on mountain slopes between 820 ft. and 1804ft. Despite their elevation, Savoie vineyards enjoy a surprisingly warm microclimate due to the southern/south-eastern sun exposure and the moderating effects of nearby rivers and lakes. Apricot, fig, olive and almond trees can share the growing space with vineyards in Savoie. Although the vineyard soils are mostly lime-rich glacial material and scree, there is a great diversity of soil types in Savoie: moraines (glacial deposits), alluvial soils, river terraces (river stone over clay), terraced steep limestone scree slopes, and the molasse basin … Ultimately, Savoie presents an incredible patchwork of soils that came from the epochs that erected the Alps during the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods.

Certified Organic and biodynamic. Second generation winemaker Vincent is now leading the way at Domaine Claude Quenard & Fils, with a goal to use as low intervetion menthods of farming as possible. From the use of plants, algae and mineral elements, as well as the minimal use of sulfur and copper in the vineyard, to working closely with the microbial life of their soils, they are leading the way for low intervention wines in the area, of which only a small handful of wineries practice.

Tasting note: Beautiful nose of fresh red cherry; ripe strawberries and a hint of watermelon. Palate is instantly dry with a clean citric acidity balanced by a gentle lactic note. Light and fresh; with some slightly more bitter notes of peach skin; rose petals and rhubarb. Amazingly flabourful for just 11.5%; long and juicy.
Winemaking Detail: Manually harvested. Must for the rose from a combination of pressing and blending of partial skin contact juice from red wine production. Full malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, before being racked onto fine lees for 8 months ageing in stainless steel.
