Jean Vullien, founder of the family Winegrowing, is wire and grandson of Savoyard vine growers. In 1973, with Jeannine his wife, it creates her own estate which to date counts 30 hectares of vines in production, located full south in slopes, with the foot of the buttress of the Massif de Bauges, between Fréterive and Chignin in the middle of the Combe de Savoie.
In 1998 and 1999, their two sons, David and Olivier graduates of the School of Vine growing of Beaune, join them with as many promises for the future by keeping the richness of the past.
The vines are planted on a calcareous ground of fall, a soil of predilection for our various type of vines. The diversity of type of vines of our winegrowing makes it possible to satisfy the most delicate palates.
Our floret, the Chignin-Bergeron, 100% Roussane, white wine gathered the grapes with the hand by three successive sorting. Intense Robe color but with reflections ambers, nose with the flowered and greedy expression: jasmine, Narcisse and fig. Frank, generous and elegant mouth vivid by its matter which is prolonged leaving a pleasant roundness.
White wine very appreciated by the gourmets and on the large Savoyard tables. To be useful with aperitif or with noix de Saint-Jacques, a fish with white butter, white meats save some creamy, tarte tatin.
