Intensity
A fresh, delightful red, simply unmissable!
More infoA blend of Gamay (80%) and Persan (20%), Argile rouge is an incredibly delicious wine. A wide array of red fruits is present in the nose, and on the palate, this is a fresh, digestible and sophisticated wine. This wine comes from vines cultivated on the hills of Saint-Pierre-de-Soucy: the roots of the vines grow deep into the subsurface clay, which protects them from extreme dryness and produces more grapes per vine.
"A partir du millésime 2023, le gamay ne fait plus partie de la cuvée, pour laisser la place à la mondeuse et au persan. Ce nouveau profil dégusté sur cuve est une bombe de fruits rouges et noirs, complexe, apte à la garde." (dégusté au domaine en mars 2024)

About the Producer Ardoisières (Domaine des)
The Domaine des Ardoisières was created ex nihilo in 1998 on land that had been planted with vines in Roman times, but which had not produced wine for centuries. Michel Grisard, one of the leading Savoyard producers, was the driving force behind the project for a long time, before handing it over to the current manager, Brice Omont. The vineyard is cultivated according to biodynamic principles and vinification is extremely natural with as little intervention as possible. The property produces three white wines and two reds. The "Schiste" cuvée (7,000 bottles) is produced from four traditional Savoyard varieties: Jacquère, Malvoisie, Roussanne and Mondeuse Blanche. The vines are grown on spectacular south-facing terraces, with small yields of 25 hl/ha. Vinification, with indigenous yeasts is carried out in barrels which have already been used for three to five wines.
