Description

Discover the exquisite 'Rubis de Boisy' from Château La Tour de Marignan, a hidden gem nestled on the gentle, sun-drenched slopes of the Mont de Boisy, overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Geneva in Savoie. This remarkable red wine is a testament to the storied history of the estate, which houses the oldest cellar in Haute-Savoie, dating back to the 11th century. Crafted by the dedicated Canelli family, this cuvée is a sophisticated blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Mondeuse—the latter being a signature, ancient grape variety of the Savoy region.

From the moment you pour a glass, the wine reveals its deep connection to the terroir. Managed under strict organic viticulture for over three decades, the grapes are harvested with care and undergo a meticulous vinification process, including 12 months of maturation in oak barrels. On the nose, it offers a vibrant bouquet of raspberry and cassis, beautifully complemented by subtle empyreumatic notes from its time in the barrel. On the palate, it is remarkably supple and 'gourmand,' displaying a harmonious structure of elegant, finely-worked tannins. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a delightful impression of spiced fruits that invites another sip.

This wine is a versatile companion for gastronomy. It finds its natural pairing with local Savoyard specialties such as a traditional Raclette, a rich Reblochon-based dish, or even a sophisticated Filet of Trout from Lake Geneva. For those who enjoy meat, it pairs wonderfully with game and red meats. Whether you are looking to build a cellar dedicated to friendship or simply seeking a unique bottle to elevate a dinner party, the 'Rubis de Boisy' is an exceptional choice. It rewards patience, benefiting from a little time in the cellar to allow the oak to integrate further, but it is already singing with character. Experience a true piece of Savoyard heritage, where monastical tradition meets contemporary organic expertise in every glass.
