Description
The finesse and elegance of a Savoie white wine
The estate
Founded in 1998 by Michel Grisard as the replanting of the Cevins hillside, the Domaine des Ardoisières is the star of quality revival in the Savoie wine region. Michel Grisard, an authentic biodynamic winegrower, was joined in 2003 by Brice Omont, an agricultural engineer from the Champagne region, in seeing this ambitious project through. Brice Omont has been running the estate since 2010, along with 12 silent partners.
The vineyard
Quartz 2020 is an IGP Vin de Allobroges wine that comes from a vineyard on the Cevins hillside on shallow schist, mica schist and silt soils. The vines are cultivated on terraces with a slope of up to 60% and face south.
Winemaking and ageing
Once the harvest was done by hand and carefully sorted, a soft pressing was carried out before a light cold settling, then the musts were put into barrels where the alcoholic fermentation took place with the aid of indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation was not done in any order. Ageing lasted 18 months, then the wine was bottled.
