A.M. Quenard is a family-owned estate in Chignin, Savoie, founded in 1976 by André and Michel Quenard. Today it remains in family hands under Michel Quenard and his son Guillaume, continuing André Quenard’s legacy. The domaine farms steep Alpine vineyards and follows sustainable, organic practices, with Haute Valeur Environnementale certification. Grapes are hand-harvested, sulphur use is limited, and fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts in a low-intervention approach. The result is a producer clearly rooted in family continuity, careful vineyard work, and traditional winemaking in Savoie.
