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

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

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.

If any Pinot Noir on these pages is built for the Parisian bistro or Lyonnais bouchon, it is this one from the hills of Chignin, in Savoie.

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.

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.

The 2021 Voie Royale was aged entirely in foudre, and the result is an utterly distinctive, perfumed, and stony rouge evoking freshly pressed grapes, tart fruit, and violets.

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