For several centuries, the Knees have been winegrowers. It is not only the land that they transmit to each other but the vine as a vocation, a reason for being, a priesthood. The estate is composed of 12 hectares of vines mainly in Arbin Mondeuse but also in Bergeron, Rousettes de Savoie, Apremont and Saint Jean de la Porte. The entire vineyard is biodynamically managed.

Our story

Our vineyard is located in Arbin, on the slopes of the Savoyarde at the foot of the Bauges massif. Our clay-limestone soil with a south and south-east orientation has been perfectly suited to vine growing for many generations. Our speciality? La Mondeuse, a red wine of great finesse and typically Savoyard, is a method that goes further than excluding chemicals and pesticides. It is a work of caring for the earth as a living being connected to the cosmos.
