Domaine Carrel & Senger - Roussette de Savoie 2023
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A Roussette full of elegance”
“Honey, quince, linden blossom, white truffle, but also lemon and pineapple: here lies the full complexity of this Roussette—at once smooth and lively, tender and taut, creamy and fresh; in a word, flamboyant. A wine of the highest caliber with a bright future ahead, worthy of the nobility that gave it birth. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, such as sea bass with fennel or cod with hollandaise sauce, for example.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
This was Eugène Carrel’s estate, taken over by his son Olivier, who has been partnered since 2022 with Thomas Senger, a thirty-something Parisian who cut his teeth at LVMH, notably in the U.S. While Olivier wanted to create “the world’s greatest wine with a touch of elegance” on the terroirs of Jongieux and the Marestel cru, he had the passion but not the resources. Thomas brings significant investment capacity (a new winery, wine tourism projects, marketing, and pricing). The next step is to advance viticulture, which remains conventional. In short, an estate that is doing well and is poised to do even better.

About the estate:
A trusted name in the Savoy wine region, producing both white and red wines, this estate was founded by the Carrel family, who have been winemakers from father to son since 1830—spanning six generations. Specialized in the 1970s by Eugène Carrel and led by his son Olivier starting in 1994, the estate and its 33 hectares situated on the steep slopes of Mont de la Charvaz and Mont du Chat were taken over in 2022 by Thomas Senger, a young entrepreneur native to Savoie and a wine enthusiast.
