Domaine des Ardoisières

With over two millenniums of history, the Savoie region has proven in the past its ability to produce very sought-after wines, once considered part of the Elite in Europe. The vineyards were planted before the Romans time, nestled within the Alpes in a picturesque setting looking at the Mont-Blanc, planted on steep slopes reminding me of Côte-Rôtie. Since then, most of the top vineyards perished because of the difficulties of time and challenges thrown to the farmers overtime. In 1998, Domaine des Ardoisières was launched to give a second life to the infamous Coteau de Cevins, a magnificent site, once producing astonishing wines. Reborn by the fruitful wish of the Mayor of Cevin and its people as well as Michel Grisard an emblematic producer of the region and Brice Omont, the current custodian.
