    Brice Omont oversees this most peculiar of estates. Founded by the legendary Michel Grisard, the idea was to revive the Coteau de Cevins, a steep vineyard that was once seen as one of Savoie’s finest, but had been largely abandoned due to the difficulty of cultivating it

     

    Since then, Omont and his team have been creating miracles in pro- ducing wines of crystalline purity and great character that are bench- marks for the region

  • Domaine des Côtes Rousses

    Saint Jean de la Porte

    A tiny estate that comprises no more than 4ha of vineyards, Domaine des Cotes Rousses is rightfully seen as THE name to watch by many of Savoie’s top sommeliers and winemakers

     

    Nicolas Ferrand founded the estate after having studied at the prestigious Sciences Po and wanting to work in an altogether different field. The result are wines that are very juicy, fruit-driven and yet have plenty of character and complexity

    Dominique Lucas’ family has been making wine for 5 generations in the heart of Côte de Beaune. Yet when he decided to start making wine himself, he decided to leave

    Burgundy and moved to Savoie. In 2008, he started his winery with a focus on Chasse- las and working biodynamically. His exacting vineyard work sees him adopt practices often only seen at prestigious domaines in Burgundy such as Leroy or Bizot

     

    Taking a very holistic approach, the various shapes of concrete vessels to age the wines are made from local spring water and gravel/sand from Chamonix. In the vine- yards, he is one of the pioneers of playing classical music to the vines

     

    The resulting wines are pure, brilliant and of great elegance. At the same time, they are concentrated, generous and offer a very singular expression of the terroir
