Dupasquier’s Marestel bottlings can be stunning when they are given enough age (+10 to 15 years). Here’s a tasting report on our vertical of the wines.
Both Roussette (Altesse) and Bergeron (Roussanne) are some of the best white varieties grown in Savoie, although sometimes Bergerons can get a tad too heavy. Gringet can make some delightful whites from the lighter end of the spectrum.
Persan and Mondeuse are among my favorite red varieties. Mondeuse can be a bit thin and eye-wateringly tart at times and Persan can make somewhat blocky, tannic wines, but in deft hands both varieties make superb wines that can age graciously for a decade or two.
Apart from Dupasquier, some producers worthwhile checking out are Les Fils de Rene Quenard, Gilles Berlioz, Franck Peillot, Domaine Saint Germain, Ardoisières and of course any wines from the late Dominique Belluard.
