Domaine Carrel & Senger - Roussette de Savoie 2023
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"An elegant Roussette"
Honey, quince, lime blossom, white truffle, but also lemon and pineapple: here you have all the complexity of this Roussette, which is at once smooth and lively, tender and tense, creamy and fresh—in a word, flamboyant. A capital wine with a promising future, worthy of the nobility that gave birth to it. It would be perfect with a nice grilled fish, sea bass with fennel or cod with hollandaise sauce, for example."

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
It was the estate of Eugène Carrel, taken over by his son Olivier, who has been working with Thomas Senger since 2022, a thirty-something Parisian who cut his teeth at LVMH, particularly in the US. Olivier wanted to make "the world's greatest wine with Altesse" on the terroirs of Jongieux and Marestel, but he had more passion than means. Thomas arrived with significant investment capacity (new winery, wine tourism projects, marketing, selling price). All that remains is to improve the viticulture, which is still conventional. In short, an estate that is doing well and will do even better.

About wine:
Honey, quince, lime blossom, white truffle, but also lemon and pineapple: here you have all the complexity of this Roussette, which is at once smooth and lively, tender and tense, creamy and fresh—in a word, flamboyant. A wine with a capital W, destined for a bright future, worthy of the Altesse that gave birth to it. It would be perfect with a nice grilled fish, sea bass with fennel or cod with hollandaise sauce, for example.
About the estate:
A sure bet in the Savoyard vineyards, both for white and red wines, this estate was founded by the Carrel family, winegrowers from father to son since 1830 and six generations. Specializing in the 1970s under Eugène Carrel and run by his son Olivier from 1994 onwards, the estate and its 33 hectares planted on the steep slopes of Mont de la Charvaz and Mont du Chat were taken over in 2022 by Thomas Senger, a young entrepreneur born in Savoie with a passion for wine.
