Vin de Savoie Mondeuse Tradition Prieuré Saint Christophe (Domaine) 2009
About the Producer Prieuré Saint Christophe
Settled in Savoie in the 1970s, Michel Grisard became a regional legend thanks to his ambitious and avant-garde choices. It was in 1994 that he decided to convert his domain to biodynamics, a largely unknown practise at the time. The only problem with his wine is how little there is of it! With just 6 hectares of vines shared between Mondeuse (red varietal) and Altesse (white varietal), he produces around 20,000 bottles a year. Following specific rules, the vine-growing has always been clean and eco-friendly with low and masterful yields. In the winery, Michel aims to vinify in whole harvests in order to preserve all the crispness of the Mondeuse grape. In 2015, Michel Grisard bowed out, and now the Giachino brothers have taken up the vineyard with the intention of continuing their predecessor's tradition and savoir-faire for as long as possible.
