Located in the heart of Savoie, France, Domaine Philippe Grisard is a true viticultural jewel whose history and heritage merge into the spectacular mountainous landscape. Spread over about 10 hectares of vineyards, this family estate is dedicated to the production of quality wines, renowned for their freshness, finesse, and elegance. Situated at the foot of the French Alps, Domaine Philippe Grisard benefits from an exceptional terroir. The soils composed of limestone scree and silt, combined with the mountain climate, produce mineral and expressive wines. These vineyards, managed in a traditional and environmentally friendly way, allow the full typicity and potential of the Savoyard terroir to be revealed. Since 1859, five generations of the Grisard family have succeeded each other at the head of the estate, each bringing their personal touch while perpetuating the same passion for viticulture. Today, Philippe Grisard, with his son Franck at his side since 2009, continues to honor this family heritage, combining traditions and innovations to produce wines of great expression. Domaine Philippe Grisard is particularly renowned for its cultivation of the Mondeuse grape, a native grape of Savoie, and also produces wines from the Rousette, Jacquère, Pinot, and Gamay grape varieties. The range of wines from the estate is varied, ranging from perfectly balanced white wines to fleshy and vigorous reds, and fresh and fruity rosés. The estate's cellar, installed in an 18th-century barn, is open to all wine lovers. There is no doubt that tasting the wines on site, in this authentic setting, is an experience not to miss.

Discovering the wine region of Savoie

Savoie is a wine region in eastern France, in the mountainous areas just South of Lake Geneva and on the border with Switzerland. The location and geography of the region has very much defined its Character, which is fragmented, hilly and slightly Swiss. This is evident in the fresh, crisp white wines produced here, as well as in the labels of the region's wines. Many bear a white cross on a red background - the flag of Switzerland and Savoy.

About three quarters of the region's wines are white. This is mainly because most of the red Grapes would have difficulty maturing properly in the cooler Climate of Savoy. Jacquère is the most widely planted white grape, due to its high yield. Altesse, traditionally known here as Roussette, is used to produce some of the finest wines in Savoie, including its own appellations of Roussette de Savoie and Roussette de Bugey.

Discover the grape variety: Mondeuse blanche

Haute-Savoie finds in Mondeuse blanche one of the oldest grape varieties planted in its vineyards. It can be found throughout Savoie and Ain, although its cultivation is not very well developed. Barely 5 hectares of vineyards are planted with this variety. It is known by other names such as savouette, dongine, couilleri or aigre blanc. Mondeuse blanche can be recognized by the downy appearance of its young shoots bearing very tan leaves, reminiscent of spider webs. The leaf blade tends to lose its tan appearance as it ages, while the 5 lobes are clearly defined. Mondeuse blanche produces bunches of grapes that give a wine with good acidity and a long shelf life, which can be kept for up to thirty years. They appear compact, cylindrical and winged. The juicy, sweet and crunchy berries ripen in the second late season. The golden yellow or green skin is quite strong, covering an ovoid or spherical fruit of medium size.
