The Wine... Is everyone in the Savoie named Quenard? This estate is in the good hands of Claude Quenard and sons, one of at least four sets of Quenards bottling wines that we have tasted over the years. They are related to Andre and Guy Quenard, also talented wine growers. La Gerbelle has leapt to the front of the Quenard pack with these releases. Meeting them was a stroke of good luck for us. The 15-hectare estate is certified organic, the wines are delicious and affordable, and totally in the juicy-and-refreshing style of dry wine we personally prefer to drink. Not that every wine is here for us... but it is easier to sell something you love.
