Demeure-Pinet
Domaine Demeure-Pinet is located in the “avant pays” of the Savoie region, in the hilly town of Saint Genix-sur-Guiers, about half way between Lyon and Chambery. Although their region was once widely planted with vines, today Chrystele and Philippe Demeure-Pinet are the only local wine growers in their tiny village. They are located at the confluence of 3 regions: the Rhone Valley to the west, Jura to the north and Savoie proper to the east. The Demeure-Pinet vineyard, at an altitude of 225 meters, enjoys a semi-continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters. In 1971, Chrystele’s father Pierre converted his polyculture farm to a wine estate. In 1990, Chrystele’s husband Philippe helped modernize the vineyards and the winery and brought the domaine to its present size of 8.5 hectares. The vineyards are on south-facing slopes with limestone- clay soils. 70% of the vines are dedicated to white grapes, almost all of it Jacquere. The domaine follows lutte raisonnée vineyards practices: no chemical products are used and grass is planted in every 2nd row to control erosion and foster a healthy natural ambiance. All of the produc- tion is estate-bottled.
Wines from this producer
Commitment to Craft Wine
We are dedicated to craft wine. Real wine produced by real people in limited quantity, from the new generation of natural winemakers to the classic high-end Burgundians. Sorry, no industrial wine here!
Selling Wine is an Art, Just Like Making It
We are not just another Direct-to-Consumer website. Actually, we don't sell directly to consumers at all, as we believe selling wine is an art. We don't want to replace it, rather just make it easier, so you can focus on the art.
The Trade Should Be as Liquid as Wine
We believe the trade should be as fluid as wine. Processes, information and transactions should flow as a fine wine, in and out of a Zalto glass. That's where a Digital Platform can help.
Winemakers First, Always
For the wine market to be healthy, firstly it must take care of the producers. We believe that the trade should be fair and transparent, across all channels, from the producer to the final consumer.
