The wines of Le Prieuré Saint-Hugues
The story of Le Prieuré Saint-Hugues
Le Prieuré Saint-Hugues is the story of two brothers, Vincent and Mathieu Quénard, who grew up among the Savoie vines. They first learned their craft at the family estate Claude Quénard & Fils, in Chignin, before launching their own project. The name comes from the Prieuré Saint-Hugues locality, a small valley right next to Chignin, known for its freshness. A little-known corner of Savoie wine, but one that leaves no one indifferent. The brothers work the great Savoie grapes, jacquère, altesse, mondeuse, as well as gamay and chardonnay, with one shared ambition: to let an incomparable mountain terroir speak. Vincent also wears a second hat, creating liqueurs and spirits with Les Likoristes. Fresh, fruity, digestible wines, just like the Savoie we love.
The cuvées of Le Prieuré Saint-Hugues
The Altesse, or Roussette de Savoie, benefits from the freshness of the Prieuré valley: a fruity, floral white combining gourmandise and liveliness, and very versatile at the table. It is almost the ideal glass to discover this lovely Savoie grape, with a raclette, a tartiflette or crozets. Gamay / Mondeuse blends a large majority of mondeuse with a touch of gamay, just enough to bring gourmandise and plenty of fruit: a red with an easy aperitif feel that pleases at any moment. Finally, Bulle Blanc is a fine, elegant traditional-method sparkling wine, where chardonnay brings a slightly brioche-like touch while jacquère and altesse give the freshness of the terroir. Serious enough for the table, sapid enough for an aperitif dinner: a true all-rounder.
