THE COMPANY

It all began in 1840, when François Tiollier purchased a property planted with vines and fruit trees and built the family home, naming it Domaine de l’Idylle. Generations later, Henriette and André Tiollier, pioneers in the development of native grape varieties, began bottling wine in 1975. In 2011, Sylvain Tiollier, having completed his training as an oenologist and gained international experience, took over the reins of the company, bringing with him modern know-how. Convinced that the mountain climate gives Savoyard wines finesse and balance, Sylvain cultivates on clay-limestone scree, ideal for optimal ripening and high acidity levels. As independent winegrowers in the process of converting to organic farming, the Domaine creates authentic expressions of Savoie while respecting the environment.

Savoy

Savoy

Savoie is almost comparable in size to the entire Bordeaux wine region, yet produces less than one-fifth of the amount produced in Bordeaux because it has largely mountainous terrain and where there is precious little arable land. The landscape is alpine, with typical features to attract tourism, namely snowy winters and lakes that warm nearby vineyards in the summer.
