The A.O.C. "Vin de Savoie cru Marin" is grown on the shores of Lake Geneva in the communes of Marin and Publier. The vineyard was halved between 1872 and 1972, but now seems to have stabilized. Made exclusively from Chasselas grapes, this wine is bright, dry, pearly and light, with lemon and pineapple aromas. It is generally drunk young, but some growers produce a wine that can age if given the chance.
The Marin vineyard
The Marin vineyards are located on slopes overlooking the Dranse river. The wines produced here benefit from the AOC "Vin de Savoie cru Marin" label. The grape varieties are Chasselas for the white wines and Gamay for the reds.
