Domaine Les Aricoques

Frangy - Haute Savoie

Since 2021, the duo of winemakers and longtime friends Romain Dupont and Guillaume Bellon have taken over a 4.80 estate located in the small village of Frangy in the mountains of Haute-Savoie.

After 10 years of experience and studies, in winemaking, as a sommelier or in wine sales – a new challenge and dream of producing their own wine from their own domaine. 

Passionate, proud of their roots and their terroir, the estate is today in conversion and planted with local star varieties - Altesse, Roussette, Jacquère, Mondeuse and Gamay.

The special soil of the domaine makes all the difference – called Moraine Glacière, it is a very poor soil resulting in low yields of very high quality and concentration. With a Southern exposure at 500 meters of altitude, it is an ideal combination for wine growing.

Why Pan!? The habitants of the Frangy village are called les Frangypans, and it reminds us the sound of the cork being pulled out the bottle. Sweet music to our ears.
