Domaine de Chevillard, Roussette de Savoie, 2021
Matthieu Goury founded Domaine de Chevillard in 2015 in Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny, naming it for the hamlet where his grandparents lived. After studying viticulture in Beaune and gaining experience in Savoie, Canada, and Australia, he established this 10-hectare organic estate dedicated to local Savoie varieties: Mondeuse, Altesse, and Jacquère. Roussette wines are made from Altesse, a grape producing fuller-bodied whites with notable aging potential—floral notes, white fruit, and distinctive hazelnut and almond character. Certified organic since 2017 and converting to biodynamic since 2020, Goury uses manual harvests, low-intervention vinification, and minimal sulfur (about 15 ppm total). The 2021 vintage was extremely challenging—late spring frost, cold rainy summer, late October harvest—yet the Roussette displays bergamot and honeysuckle aromatics with Alpine minerality, medium body, and characteristic complexity of peaches, honey, and pine resin.
