The Girard-Madoux family has long been the owner of a vineyard in Chignin chef lieu, in the south-east of Chambéry, France. The domaine was sold in 1976.
The vineyards left the family for a few decades only, until Jean-Charles Girard-Madoux undertook a training program for winegrower.
His studies in Beaune (France) and his traineeship in the vineyard of Patrice Rion in Burgundy, revealed his passion for wine and vineyard work.
As from 2006, one month after completing a vocational training certificate (BTS) in viticulture and oenology, Jean-Charles Girard-Madoux purchased the vineyards to recreate the family wine domaine. At the time, it consisted of 2.5 hectares of vines planted by his grandparents.
Since then, the domaine has expanded to 6.5 hectares, with different grape varieties such as: Jacquère, Mondeuse, Roussanne and Gamay.

The vineyard is situated on a south-west facing limestone and clay hillside, at the foot of the Savoyarde.
The stony soil makes it a terroir of predilection for our white and red wines.
[ca_heading_title header_type=”small_large_title” border_bottom=”no” text_align=”center” header_style=”dark” small_title=”” large_title=”The vineyard work”]
Vines are stripped by hand and a green harvesting is done to maximize the maturity of grapes.
All vineyard work (pruning, debudding and trellising,…) is done by hand.
Only tillage is done mechanically through screefing, in particular to provide greater soil aeration.

The harvest is manual, with small crates to avoid damaging the grapes.
A selective sorting is undertaken at the vine.

Imagine a stunning view on the Mont Granier, on the chain of Belledonnes still covered in snow, and a plunging view over the Grésivaudan valley. Imagine the stillness and beauty of vineyards in the middle of Summer.
