    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
