Anti-hail nets to protect the vines at Domaine de l’Idylle

Part of our vines is equipped with anti-hail nets

Hail poses a significant risk to vines. In just a few minutes, a downpour can damage grapes and cause a significant loss of the current year’s harvest. But the consequences don’t stop there: weakened vines can sometimes take several years to regain their full production potential.

We have chosen to equip some of our vineyards with anti-hail nets, prioritizing young vines, which are more sensitive to climatic hazards. Protected in this way, they can root and grow safely, ensuring their vigor and future production potential.
These nets provide an effective physical barrier against climatic hazards and help secure the harvest and guarantee the quality of the wines we offer you, year after year.

An investment for the future

Thanks to this protection, we can preserve our vines, stabilize our production, and continue to offer you wines that are true to our terroir. This investment is part of our commitment to combining tradition and innovation in the service of the vine.

The installation of these nets was made possible thanks to the financial support of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region, with the participation of the Department of Savoie, through Mechanism 203: Investments in agricultural holdings.

We are pleased to share with you this important step, which allows us to secure our vineyard and continue to produce quality wines.

Two vintages distinguished in the Hachette Guide 2026

Two vintages from Domaine de l’Idylle distinguished in the 2026 Hachette Guide

We are pleased to share a wonderful recognition: two of our wines have been selected in the prestigious Hachette Wine Guide 2026. A source of pride for our team, but also a wonderful showcase for our Savoyard terroir.

Arbin Mondeuse « Le Coteau d’Albert » – Millésime 2023

The Hachette Guide describes our vintage as follows:
“The nose, initially discreet, develops with aeration into peony, violet, and cherry. The palate, equally pleasant and delicate, lively and finely tannic, finishes with pleasant notes of cocoa. It can be enjoyed in its younger years.”

A tribute to the beautiful expressions of Mondeuse, the emblematic grape variety of Savoie, which we cultivate with passion.

Roussette de Savoie « Cuvée Émilie » –Millésime 2023

Regarding our Roussette, the guide emphasizes:
“Partial oak aging (80% of the wine) brings finesse and complexity to this Roussette, which is both round and airy, with delicious and flattering aromas of beeswax, honey, linden, and hazelnut, enveloped in vanilla notes. A plump yet fresh cuvée, to be paired after a short aging period with a vol-au-vent or foie gras.”

A wonderful recognition for this vintage that we carefully craft, with the aim of combining indulgence and freshness.

A source of pride for our field

The Hachette Wine Guide is a reference for wine lovers and professionals. Being included in it is a wonderful reward for our daily work in the vineyard and cellar, but also an encouragement to continue our quest for quality and authenticity.

We look forward to welcoming you to the estate!
