INTE GRAAL 2017 - CHÂTEAU DE MERANDE

CHÂTEAU DE MERANDE

Château de Mérande (or Domaine Genoux) is located in Arbin in Savoie. Working on 12 hectares, 7 of which are reserved for the famous Mondeuse, the Domaine produces wines that express all the richness and typicity of Cru Arbin. In addition to Mondeuse, two hectares are planted with Roussanne at the foot of the Rocher "le Grand Blanc", the other great terroir of Bergeron. Finally, a hectare and a half, on the glacial moraines of Mérande, is planted in Altesse and produces Roussette de Savoie, the great white wine of Savoy; Gamay, Jacquère and Persan share the few dozen remaining ares. Since 2000, the vineyard has grown with the re-cultivation of old hillsides, among the most prestigious of the Cru, such as "Le Paradis" and "les Terrasses de Lourdens" and in a few years it has become the benchmark of the appellation. Since 2001, the renovated cellars have been installed at Château de Mérande, an exceptional residence and emblem, if any, the most representative of our local history.
