Petite Arvine 2025 Coteau de Tormery

One tasting is enough to understand why Guillaume Quénard has become one of the most exciting names in modern Savoie wines.

This Petite Arvine is anything but generic.
It is a true terroir wine.

Originally from Switzerland’s Valais region, Petite Arvine remains extremely rare in Savoie. Yet on the steep limestone scree slopes of Torméry in Chignin, the grape finds remarkable expression. The altitude, south-facing exposure, and rocky soils create a wine that feels vibrant, saline, and intensely mineral.

The winemaking remains deliberately simple:
manual harvests, natural fermentations, stainless steel ageing, and minimal intervention to preserve purity and freshness.

The result is striking.

The nose combines citrus, white flowers, and subtle rocky Alpine notes. On the palate, the wine stands out for its crystalline texture and signature saline finish typical of Petite Arvine.

This is exactly the kind of wine many sommeliers and wine lovers are searching for today:
fresh yet textured, precise yet highly drinkable, deeply connected to its mountain terroir.
