David Humbert – La Vigne Sauvage
Lac Léman - Haute Savoie
High in the French Alps David Humbert farms 1.5 hectares of mostly Chasselas and a little Gamay on the banks of Lac Léman. Here he makes wines of dazzling purity and striking saline minerality.
David created the domaine in 2018 and the vineyards are split into two small parcels one in the appelation Marignan, the other in Marin, both on limestone and clay soils. He farms Biodynamically and doesn’t use a tractor in an effort to preserve the structure of his vineyard’s soil. It’s just the beginning of the life of this domaine and it is a very exciting start.
