The Domaine des Ardoisières was created ex nihilo in 1998 on land that had been planted with vines in Roman times, but which had not produced wine for centuries. Michel Grisard, one of the leading Savoyard producers, was the driving force behind the project for a long time, before handing it over to the current manager, Brice Omont in 2008.
The 24-hectare vineyard is cultivated according to organic principles and vinification is extremely natural with as little intervention as possible. With slopes sometimes reaching a 70% gradient, yields are low and the wines dazzling.
OPening a bottles of Ardoisières is to dive into the fine wine universe!

The white Argiles cuvée is pure and polished wine with a pleasant level of acidity lifted by notes of citrus fruit and pine resin. A blend of Chardonnay, Jacquère and Mondeuse blanche, this wine is fermented in barrels and vats with indigenous yeasts before an 8-month élevage. A lovely wine, perfect for an evening with friends, to be drunk with cheese or to accompany oven-baked fish and a lemony, butter sauce.
