Travel no further than Chignin, where the Quenard family bottles a Roussanne (dubbed Bergeron in these parts) that will exceed your wildest expectations.

With notes of mixed black and red fruit and a spine of minerality, Quenard’s Gamay is crunchier, more aromatic, and more succulent than most bottles you’d find in Beaujolais.

Lychee and ripe citrus wrapped in beeswax. You might think there are a bunch of busy benevolent bees whiling away inside your glass.

This medium-bodied white evokes peaches, honey, and pine resin. Perfect for winter nights and dishes like hearty, Savoie-inspired fish chowder.

A wonderfully dry, fresh, sparkling wine from one of the most beautiful regions of France.

This red conveys loads of juicy, brambly berries with floral and gamey nuances.

The wine is bone-dry but offers a wonderful nose of bergamot and honeysuckle, along with a zippy freshness supported by all the Alpine minerality you would expect from fruit grown in stony soils in the Alps.

The epitome of an Alpine white—a brisk mineral lick of Jacquère, crackling with freshness and crystalline purity.

Grown on near-vertical limestone scree slopes, Bergeron reaches incredible heights, yielding a blanc flavors of peach, tangerine, and pine resin.

Few things are more satisfying as an apéritif than a chilled glass of this Alpine elixir made from 70-year-old vines.
