Domaine Dupasquier — Winery in Jongieux

David and Véronique Dupasquier are the fifth generation of this ultra-traditional domaine in Aimavigne, a hamlet whose name literally means "love the vine". All the wines ferment on native yeasts, and ageing takes one to two years in large wooden casks, which is exceptionally long for Savoie. The absolute highlight is the Roussette de Savoie Marestel: 100% Altesse from a steep cru on clay-limestone soils facing south-west, with 45-year-old vines, aged in foudres and then for a further 18 months in bottle. A wine that can age for twenty years and more and is compared internationally with the great white Burgundies.

You can taste in the cellar; in summer there are tastings in the vineyard. Let the estate know beforehand when you are coming.
