Originally from Lille, Maxime Dancoine trained to be a winemaker in Beaune and Changins, Switzerland. He took over some vines located in Aiton in 2016 and set up Domaine de l’Aitonnement. Covering 1.5 hectares, the vines grow on steep slopes with a 70% gradient. There, they enjoy the continuous sunshine and a breeze that reduces the risk of diseases – a very good thing as they are cared for using biodynamic methods. Maxime Dancoine produces beautiful wines from Mondeuse Noire, Jacquère Blanche and Altesse. He also has some plots with relatively unknown Savoie varieties such as Joubertin Noir, Blanc de Maurienne and Mondeuse Grise and Blanche. Produced without sulphur, the wines are remarkable.
