Domaine de Chatillon is the personal project of Ed Peter, the owner of famed Yarra Valley estate Yarra Yering. Vines up to 40 years of age grown in Chautagne area of Savoie close to Lac de Bourget (which used to be called “Chatillon”) south east of Annecy in the French Alps. The label depicts the castle Chateau de Chatillon that dates back to 1125 , and has now been refurbished into a residence, situated on the property.
The Chautagne area of Savoie enjoys warmer daytime climate (with alpine cold nights) and the only area in Savoie where red wines are dominant. The practices are of the highest order to create these brilliant wines – Organic viticulture, 100% estate grown fruit, handpicking and hands-off winemaking : wild yeasts, some solids in ferments, no oak maturation. Mondeuse is one of a small handful of local varieties that are slowly being found elsewhere outside of the Savoie, but this is a great local example that shows the variety’s full potential.
A brilliant, pale rosé made from Gamay from the Savoie in eastern France. All the fruit is grown on the estate, and the wine is made in a hands-off style, with no oak. Really attractive pale salmon colour, hyper aromatic – lovely juicy red fruits and a cool alpine feel. Lots of fresh acidity and a whisper of white pepper spice.
