About the Cuvée

4 hectares dedicated on our Domain in Jongieux, Savoie. Vin de plaisir appreciated by everyone, light and balanced, it pairs very well with hot dishes or charcuterie. The grapes are picked by hand and, depending on the climate and quality of the grapes, the clusters are selected before fermenting in the vats for 7 days before being pressed.

About the Domain

In this corner of Savoie, vines have always been cultivated. Marcelle and Francis Chevalier specialized in viticulture in the 70s. Jean-Pierre Bernard and Chantal Chevalier, we met in Beaune during our BTS viticulture and enology studies. Before taking over the domain in 1996, we worked in Beaujolais and other wine and vineyard domains. Upon taking over, we combined our surnames to create Domaine Chevalier Bernard. In 2016, our son Antoine joined us. At the end of 2016, we obtained the Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, which testifies to our commitment to practices that respect biodiversity and the environment.
