Ardoisiéres Argile Rouge 2023

Domaine des Ardoisieres Argile Rouge is a red wine made by Brice Omont on the steep slopes of Savoy from Gamay Noir, Mondeuse Noire and Persan.On clayey soils with a calcareous substrate located in Coteaux de St Pierre de Soucy and St Jean de La Porte, on a steep slope and with a South and West exposure, Brice Omont makes a red wine with a rustic touch in its youth, the result of not destemming but whole bunches. The vinification with indigenous yeasts and a nine-month aging in tanks prepare it for aging to gain the finesse that is our trademark.Domaine des Ardoisieres is a small Savoyard producer at the qualitative peak of the region. It is a relatively young Domaine, born in 1998 when Michel Grisard decided to replant six hectares in the Coteau de Cevins. These are micaschist soils on terraces between Albertville and Moutiers, with a slope that can reach 70%, and which are cultivated biodynamically, giving a new meaning to the concept of heroic viticulture. It is in 2003 when Brice Omont arrives at the Domaine. Brice is an agricultural engineer, of Champenois origin, and he gave it great impetus until, in 2008, he became the owner and ultimate manager of some wines that, as we said before, are at the zenith of what Savoy wine can be. work recognized by the Revue de Vin de France, which named Ardoisieres the star producer in 2017. Here there are wines of great finesse, with native varieties such as Jacquere, Altesse or Mondeuse Blanche that accompany Chardonnay in the wines whites, and the Gamay, the Mondeuse and the Persian in the reds.
