Grape Variety:
40% Jacquère, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Mondeuse Blanche
Vineyard Cultivation:
The Domaine was born from the replanting, in 1998, of the Cevins hillside: six hectares of mica-schists along terraces between Albertville and Moutiers, undertaken by Michel Grisard. In 2003, to assist Grisard, Brice Omont, agricultural engineer from Champagne, invested in the project and now (since 2008) finds himself at the head of an Estate which now comprises 16 hectares. Biodynamic viticulture is championed here. Argile Blanc cuvée comes from the vineyards of Western exposure of the hillside of black shale clay of Saint-Pierre de Soucy.
Vinification:
The wine is fermented with indigenous yeast and aged for nine months in vat.
Tasting Notes:
The “Argile Blanc” showcases an abundance of alpine tension and refreshment with flavours of white flowers, orchard fruits and green almonds. The palate contains crystalline purity, showing white peach and nectarine fruits, grapefruit and lemon peel acidity, and a crushed stone finish. You can drink it now with a 30-minute decant before serving or cellar it up until 2028+.
