Domaine des Ardoisières - Vin des Allobroges Argile blanc 2024
92/100 Coup de Cœur
RVF
"A crystalline, well-balanced and fragrant cuvée".
Fine and delicate, at once reserved and sensual, Cuvée Argile Blanc evokes greedy notes of white fruits such as peach on the nose, accompanied by a beautiful minerality. This crystalline cuvée, whose schistose marl terroir lends it a fine salinity on the finish, is full of charm.

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Launched in 1998 under the impetus of Michel Grisard, this estate has brought two hillsides back into production. The crazy project involved 450 parcels and 250 families. All were organic and produced under the IGP vin-des-Allobroges label, failing to gain the support of the Savoie appellation. Today, the 18 hectares managed by Brice Omont, who has just taken over a further six hectares in Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte and Apremont, constitute a benchmark estate for the region. The wines are among the most expensive.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The domaine was born of Michel Grisard's 1998 replanting of the Cevins hillside, 6 hectares of terraced micaschist between Albertville and Moutiers. Brice Omont, an agricultural engineer from the Champagne region, arrived in 2003 to assist Michel Grisard, and since 2008 has been at the helm of the 16-hectare estate. Here, biodynamic viticulture is heroic (the slope can reach 70%), yields are very low, and the wines are mainly made from grape varieties that have been combined and blended. The results are often admirable: the wines show great finesse and originality, and become even more distinctive with age. It's important to be aware that ageing sometimes has a major impact on the expression of young wines when they are first opened, as aeration frees up their expression. Améthyste complements Persian with Mondeuse; the Argile cuvées (from the Saint-Pierre-de-Soucy hillside) combine Jacquère, Chardonnay and Mondeuse blanche in the white, and Gamay, Mondeuse and Persian in the red; Schiste is composed of Jacquère, Mondeuse blanche, Roussanne and Pinot Gris. Only Quartz is a single varietal, made from altesse. If ever there was a domain emblematic of Savoie's qualitative renaissance and its ambition, this is it.
