Rated estate (2020 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About the estate:

Maxime Dancoine, an oenologist, cultivates only a very small vineyard, located in Aiton, at the western end of the Maurienne massif. Nevertheless, the wine produced there is beginning to attract the attention of wine lovers. Highly meticulous, biodynamically inspired and certified organic since 2017, it is part of the diversity and ambition that characterizes the generational renewal of Savoyard viticulture. This approach makes perfect sense in light of the new plantings that favor endemic grape varieties such as Jaubertin and Blanc de Maurienne.
