Maison des Ardoisières - Red Silica - Magnum 2023
The Domaine des Ardoisières is located in Savoie on the Coteaux de Cevins and Saint-Pierre-de-Soucy . The estate was founded in 1997 following the replanting project of the fallow vineyard of Denis Perroux , the village mayor. This project came to fruition in 1998 with the first planting of the local grape variety called Altesse and the first harvest took place in October 2002. A few months later, Denis Perroux met Brice Omont (a winegrower passionate about biodynamics) and Michel Gisard (an agricultural engineer Champagne). Since 2008, they have been at the head of Domaine des Ardoisières which now covers 16 hectares. The estate is managed biodynamically .
Silice Rouge is made from Mondeuse , resulting from purchases of grapes carried out in organic farming by winegrowers neighboring the estate. Vinification is carried out in whole clusters with native yeasts. The wine is aged in a combination of concrete tank, stainless steel and neutral barrel.
Grape variety: 100% Mondeuse
