Domaine Justin: four generations of winegrowing excellence in Savoie
Domaine Justin
A family estate of the Jongieux cru, in Savoie, for four generations. 11.5 hectares across four villages, 70% Altesse. Crus Jongieux, Marestel and Monthoux. HVE-certified.
Rooted in the heart of the Jongieux cru, Domaine Justin is a family estate passed down with passion for four generations. Spread across the villages of Jongieux, Billieme, Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu and Yenne, it stands as a reference for the wines of Savoie. Here, the vine flourishes between lakes and mountains, on a sunny clay-limestone terroir that gives birth to exceptional crus: Jongieux, Marestel and Monthoux.
A family history for more than a century
The estate's history begins with Antoine Justin, a pioneer of the Touviere hillside: from the late 19th century, he delivered his wines to Chambery, crossing the Col du Chat with his cart loaded with barrels. His son Eugene perfected the winemaking and made the Roussette de Savoie shine, awarded gold in Paris in the 1950s. After the war, Rene Justin took up the reins with his wife Andree and his sister Gabrielle, then their son Guy developed the vineyard in the 1970s and introduced total grass cover.
Today, Emmanuelle Justin, daughter of Guy and Yvonne, perpetuates the family spirit through her olfactory sensitivity and her attachment to the land. Since 2019, Arnaud Bellet, a loyal collaborator for nearly twenty years, has joined the management and steered the estate towards a sustainable viticulture certified HVE.

A unique terroir between tradition and innovation
Located in the Combe de Billieme, in the heart of the Savoie vineyard, the estate cultivates the art of a balance between respect for the terroir and viticultural precision. Grass cover, manual leaf-thinning and green harvesting guarantee controlled yields and perfect ripeness of the grapes. The wines are then aged slowly, in vats, to preserve the purity of the fruit and reveal all the aromatic richness of the Savoie terroir.
The vineyard spans 11.5 hectares across four villages, planted with 70% Altesse, the noble grape of Savoie, and 30% red and white grapes: Jacquere, Mondeuse, Pinot Noir and Gamay. All the wines are classified in Appellation d'Origine Controlee, guarantors of their authenticity and their intimate link with the land of Savoie.
