Domaine Carrel François et Fils — Winery in Jongieux

A family business in Jongieux, winegrowers for six generations, with great attention to local grape varieties. Planted on glacial moraine clay-limestone soils with a south-south-west exposure, and worked with maximum respect for the environment. Red, white, rosé and sparkling wines from native Savoie grapes. And what wines! The Le Marété Marestel is one of my favourites: one of the better white Savoie wines you can drink. Direct sales at the domaine and delivery throughout Europe. Open Monday to Saturday from 9.00-12.00 and 14.00-18.00. Closed on Sundays.

At the cellar door you can taste the wines, with a board of local cheeses if you like, and there are tours of the estate.
