Domaine des Ardoisières
For 15 years Brice Omont has led Domaine des Ardoisières, building upon its historic foundations to be the pure expression of Savoie it is today.
It is no easy feat to grow and vinify consistently high quality wines in a region that shrunk signi!cantly over the decades. By taking a prominent stand after phylloxera and industrialisation hit hard on the region, Domaine des Ardoisières worked hard to keep their vineyards in tact and today with Brice Omont at the helm, he works to return the Savoie region to the flourishing address it once was.
80% of the quality of the wine is obtained by rigorous work in the vines. Working across the Cevins and St Pierre de Soucy hillsides, the vines are treated unique to their position on the slopes working with the contour lines of the terroir. On the Cevins terrain, the vines of Persian, Mondeuse noire, Altesse, Roussanne, Mondeuse blanche, Malvoisie and Jacquère all enjoy the metamorphic rock and silty-sandy soils. The incline being up to 60% is severe and therefore carefully cultivated by hand to produce such elegant top cuvees such as Amethyste, Quarts and Schiste. The Altesse varietal shines brightly in the Schiste cuvee, alongside the voluptuous and structured Amethyste red blend.
On the hills of St Pierre de Soucy, the vines of Gamay, Mondeuse Noire, Persan, Jacquère, Chardonnay and Mondeuse Blanche drive deep into a more schistose marl with hard black schist soil. The Argile cuvees come alive on this hillside with the white presenting an abundance of alpine tension and refreshment!
I implore you to take the trek among the Savoie hills to explore what these gorgeous biodynamic wines have to offer.
