Maison Viallet

The Viallet family acquired their first Estate back in 1966 in Apremont, 10kms from Chambéry. Philippe Viallet, the 2nd generation, joined the Estate and created Maison Philippe Viallet in 1985. Over the past 30 years, Philippe has acquired several vineyards and it now represents 118 hectares spread across various Savoie appellations. Philippe is also a negociant-éleveur and has contracts all over Savoie with several growers. Savoie consists of many isolated subregions and plots of vineyards scattered across four French departments: Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, Ain. Savoie neighbors Switzerland (to the East), the Jura region (to the North) and the little-known Bugey region, which is west across the Rhône river. The Savoie region is the only alpine wine region in France located between mountains and lakes.
