The Story

This parcel known as “Les Salins” is planted on very steep fully south facing terraces (inclines of 50 to 60%), just below the high crags of the La Savoyarde mountain where the vines are sheltered from spring frosts and violent summer storms. The other advantage of this parcel is the composition of its soil, a remarkable, luminous, mineral white chalk, wreathed in abundant vegetation in the spring.

About Denis Et Didier Berthollier

Producer Story

The winery has been run since the mid-1990s by two brothers, Denis & Didier Berthollier, who come from a long winemaking tradition of growers, owners, and winemakers dating back to 1850. Denis & Didier own several parcels on the southernmost and steepest parts of the Savoie hills. Their forefathers abandoned these abrupt slopes at the beginning of the 20th century because they were too difficult to work. Denis & Didier harvest, vinify, and do the bottling themselves at their domaine. They have eliminated the use of insecticides & fungicides in all their vines and ceased the use of weedkiller since 2008, enabling grass to grow in the rocky vineyards. They use only naturally occurring, indigenous yeasts and very minimal SO2. Their wines are recognized among the purest & finest in Savoie.
