Domaine l Autre bout du monde

Domaine L'Autre Bout du Monde

A young organic Savoie estate born in early 2023, on the shore of Lake Bourget, near Aix-les-Bains. 2.5 hectares in micro-plots on the heights of Brison-Saint-Innocent and Gresy-sur-Aix. Seven grapes, gentle winemaking, limited sulfur.

On the shore of Lake Bourget, in the majestic landscape of Savoie, Domaine L'Autre Bout du Monde traces a singular winegrowing adventure, born of an old dream and a passion long matured at the other end of the globe. After years spent far from the world of wine, the path brings the winegrower back to Europe, then to Savoie, and finally into the vines. An immersion in Belgium reveals the magic of fermentation and the living: wine becomes an obvious choice. In early 2023, the estate officially came to life, a name like a nod to an atypical journey.

In the cellar: finesse as a guiding line

The goal is clear: let the wine tell its terroir, without artifice. 100% manual harvests, direct pressing of the whites without crushing, slow cold settling, 15-day macerations for the reds with delicate pump-overs, spontaneous fermentations or started with pied de cuve, ageing in stainless steel tanks and ceramic vessels, sulfur limited to the strict minimum. Each gesture aims for purity, balance and the most faithful expression of each plot.

The whites: La Part des Chamois, Grésine & 1434

Chardonnay and Altesse (roussette)

La Part des Chamois (Chardonnay) is a bright white born on the coolest slopes; Grésine (Altesse) a mineral roussette, fine and Savoyard at heart; 1434 (Altesse) a refined tribute to Savoyard tradition. All the freshness of Savoie whites.

The reds: Sous les Granges, Le Chant des Ânes & Orage

Mondeuse and Pinot Noir

Sous les Granges (Mondeuse) is a nervy, vibrant red, anchored in its land; Le Chant des Ânes (Pinot Noir) fine and delicate, carried by the freshness of the lake; Orage, an expressive, easy-drinking cuvee, shaped by the intensity of mountain climates.

Seven grapes, Savoyard and beyond

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Mondeuse, Altesse, Jacquère, Persan, Johanniter

The vineyard brings together seven grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Mondeuse, Altesse, Jacquere, Persan and Johanniter. Each responds differently to variations of soil, weather and altitude, giving the cuvees a unique depth, marked by the mountain climate.
