2019 Domaine du Gringet Ayse Brut Les Perles du Mont-Blanc

WINEMAKER: Dominique Belluard
REGION: Savoie, FR
VARIETAL: Gringet
VITICULTURE: Biodynamic

"Perles du Mont Blanc was aged for 24 months sur latte, with no dosage at disgorgement, so this is very much a wine made by Dominique. It comes from vines in several different plots located around the estate. Some (the lieu-dit Chez Reydet) is yellow marl and some is white marl (the lieu-dit Le Pré Milleret)" - Living Wines

Vale Dominique Belluard. A leading vigneron of the Savoie leaving behind a great legacy. "Many of you will know about the tragic death of Dominique Belluard during the Covid epidemic. He was an extraordinary vigneron who leaves a great legacy, not least of which is the recognition he gained for his beloved Gringet grape variety. However, all is not lost. Dominique’s wife, Valérie, has negotiated for a young, talented winemaker to take over the Gringet vineyards and to make future cuvees of the wine. The new business will be called Domaine de Gringet in recognition of the grape that Dominique brought to the attention of the world!" - Living Wines
