Appellation Vin de Savoie - Chignin AOC Varietals 100% Roussanne (Bergeron) Location Chignin Soil Clay and limestone Area 50 ha Agricultural Method Organic Vinification Gentle pressing of the grapes. Natural fermentation at a low temperature for 6 to 8 weeks. Light sulphur when wine is bottled.

Château Mérande is located in Arbin, the home of the most distinguished Mondeuse in Savoie, and as such, 15 of their 25 acres of holdings are planted to that varietal. The rest of the estate is dedicated to production of Roussanne from Chignin and Roussette de Savoie. The Genoux brothers, Daniel and André, are part of a family lineage of winemakers that goes back generations, but that didn’t stop them from seeking additional consultation Yann Pernoult, a young vigneron with deep ties to the land in Savoie. With his influence, Château Mérande is now pursuing biodynamic practices, including the use of natural fertilizers and soil preparations and the exclusion of pesticides and weed killers. In addition they are a member of the Biodivine group, which helps maintain biodiversity in vineyards.
