"Still a little stiff in the tannins, but the style of this wine is gaining definition, offering a more rounded palate. A delicious finish with a hint of pepper. Substantial on the palate. Well-made and serious." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve). A beautiful terroir wine...

Wine rated 89/100

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About wine:

Still a little stiffness in the tannins, but the style of this wine is gaining definition, offering a more rounded palate. A delicious finish with a hint of pepper. Substantial on the palate. Well-made and serious.

About the estate:

This large 28-hectare estate was long run by André and Michel. Guillaume, Michel's son, arrived in 2009. The estate is located on the steep slopes of Torméry, south of Chignin. It was Guillaume's grandfather who replanted the vineyard in the 1950s. The estate avoids herbicides as much as possible but cannot work all its plots by hand. Guillaume is experimenting with organic farming on the two and a half hectares he took over to form the Côteau de Torméry estate. He is also experimenting with ageing in large oak barrels or sandstone vats. A wide and consistent range with promising innovations.

About the estate:

Michel Quénard took over the family estate, founded by his grandparents, in 1976. His son Guillaume joined him in 2009, after studying at the Beaune wine school and then at the Changins engineering school (Switzerland), and took over the reins of this estate, one of the most renowned in Savoie, which produces wines of consistently high quality, both red and white.
