The estate and the wine |
|

This is the fresh new face of Savoie. Recently established on the slopes of Chignin, Ludovic Archer is reshaping the region’s reputation, with wines that are climbing straight to the top of the rankings—cited in the 2025 Guide Vert by La Revue du Vin de France, France’s leading wine publication. The critics agree: he’s the rising star of the Alpine vineyards, and discovering his work is a must.
A former engineer turned winemaker, he organically farms 2.5 hectares tucked against the Bauges Massif. Everything is done by hand—low yields, perfectly ripened grapes, whole-cluster maceration for the reds, gentle pressing for the whites, and no new oak aging. Every choice is made to craft wines with softness and integrity, allowing the fruit aromas and textures to shine through with honesty and finesse. |

The 2021 Savoie Mondeuse Totem Red is a juicy, full-bodied wine with impressive ripeness and immediate charm. It opens with ripe stone fruit aromas layered with smoky, savory notes—bacon, tobacco, a touch of licorice—all wrapped in a fresh, balanced structure. Bright, crunchy fruit on the palate brings lift and energy, making it a fantastic match for dishes like roast pigeon or beef Wellington. Inviting and expressive from the first sip. Rated 92/100 by our Selection Committee. |
