Pascal Perceval works today on an exceptional domain created in 1910 on 54 hectares of vineyards, in the French Alps, which extends from the commune of Les Marches, close to the Saint André lake, to the territory of Chautagne, on the edge of the Bourget lake. In this breathtaking landscape, the average age of the vines is 30 years and some parcels are over 80 years old.
In love with the mountains and lands that surround him, Pascal Perceval lives and breathes to the rhythm of his environment. This majestic setting feeds his imagination and provides the inspiration he needs to pave the way, stubborn and daring.
The highest peaks and the deepest lakes inspire him to dare, to seek out and discover the way in which the gold and blood of the vines will be imbued with their most beautiful exposures. His roots are those of a family that believes in the truth of the soil, in the beauty of the seasons, in the joy of large, beautiful meals.
Hard to conquer but generous, this terroir could only accept the energy and hard work of determined men for generations.
From this soil, inherited from the gigantic collapse of the Granier mountain in November 1248, comes a white grape variety with subtle, fresh aromas. In our region, criss-crossed by mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers, the continental climate is influenced by oceanic influences to the north and Mediterranean to the south. On this land, the Perceval family cultivates both tradition and audacity, as well as quality viticulture. Respect for a job well done, manual harvesting and ancestral methods preserve nectars with round tannins, good density and a fine, assertive character.
Each year, a commission of experts verifies compliance with these rules. Our vineyards are planted on hillsides, on former glacial moraines or on scree. The sunshine gives our wines a high quality taste. Great care is taken to ensure that the white wines are matured in traditional vats, in stainless steel or concrete, and in French oak barrels for better ageing.
