Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the wine:
The tannins are still a bit firm, but this wine’s style is becoming more defined, offering a rounder palate. A rich, delicately peppery finish. Substantial body on the palate. Well-made and serious.
About the estate:
This large 28-hectare estate was long managed by André and Michel. Guillaume, Michel’s son, joined the estate in 2009. The estate is located on the steep hillside of Torméry, south of Chignin. It was the grandfather who oversaw the replanting in the 1950s. The estate avoids herbicides as much as possible but cannot work all of its plots by hand. Guillaume is experimenting with organic farming on the two and a half hectares he acquired to establish the Côteau de Torméry estate. He is also conducting aging trials in large oak casks and stoneware vessels. A broad, cohesive range featuring promising innovations.

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