"Everything about this Persian is deep and powerful: the dark garnet color, the blackcurrant, red fruit and spice aromas, the good-quality but still young tannins, well supported by the wood and fine acidity, the signature of this beautiful Savoyard grape variety that has come out of oblivion. Wait for it. (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Nose
Rich violet and raspberry scents
Mouth
Deep and fruity, with great length. Luscious in its youth, with well-integrated woody notes, it's a wine made for laying down. Persan doesn't give up immediately; it can be enjoyed young for its freshness and tonicity, but with patience and by waiting a few years it will open up more and its tannins will soften.
Serve
At 16-18°C, can be decanted
Drink before

Food and wine pairing
Goes well with local ham and sausage, mushroom pie, calf's liver, grilled meats...
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This 28-hectare estate has long been run by André and Michel. Michel's son Guillaume joined in 2009. The estate is located on the steep slope of Torméry, south of Chignin. It was the grandfather who led its replanting in the 1950s. The estate avoids herbicides as much as possible, but cannot work all its plots by hand. Guillaume is trying his hand at organic farming on the two and a half hectares he took over to create the Côteau de Torméry estate. He is also experimenting with ageing in foudres or stoneware. A wide, coherent range with promising innovations.

About the wine:
Everything about this Persian is deep and powerful: the dark garnet color, the aromas of blackcurrant, red fruit and spices, the good-quality but still young tannins, well supported by the wood and fine acidity, the signature of this beautiful Savoyard grape that has come out of oblivion. To be awaited.
About the domain :
Michel Quénard took over the family domaine, founded by his grandparents, in 1976. His son Guillaume joined him in 2009, after studying at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune and then at the Changins engineering school in Switzerland, and has since taken the helm of one of Savoie's most renowned estates, with a very consistent quality in both red and white wines.
