About the Winery

Created in 1882, this family estate has been dedicated to viticulture since 1977. Éric Carrel, representing the fifth generation, runs 17 hectares of vines on glacial clay-limestone moraine soils facing south and southwest, certified HVE (High Environmental Value). His daughter Théa joined him in 2024. The estate produces red, white, Rose, and sparkling wines from local Savoyard grape varieties including Jacquère, Altesse (Roussette), Mondeuse, and Pinot Noir. The wines have won several medals at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris and the Guide Hachette des Vins. The estate places great importance on local grape varieties and terroir.
