Buy Wine from Camille Mathieu Apffel
The Camille & Mathieu Apffel winery is located in the Savoie region of France. Mathieu Apffel, a native of Jura, decided to follow his passion for wine even though his family had no background in viticulture. He trained as a winegrower in Beaune and Dijon. After his training, he worked in renowned wineries such as Domaine Pignier in Jura, Chapoutier in Australia and Domaine de l'Arlot in Burgundy. However, it was the breathtaking landscape south of Chambéry that led him to settle down and start winemaking in Savoie.
History
Mathieu started his first project in Savoie with his friend Matthieu Goury, but it only lasted a few years. Subsequently, he worked in the vineyards of other growers who practised organic methods. In 2017, he had the opportunity to acquire a small three-hectare estate in Saint-Baldoph, owned by older winegrowers who were retiring. Three years later, in 2020, his wife Camille joined him full-time in the business.
Vineyards
Camille & Mathieu Apffel's vineyards extend on both sides of La Combe de Savoie. In the village of Saint-Baldoph, they have three hectares of east-facing Jacquère, planted between 1950 and 1990, which are part of the Apremont cru region. On the north-eastern outskirts of Chambery, on steep south-facing slopes, they grow one hectare of Jacquère, half a hectare of Altesse and smaller plots of Mondeuse and Gamay. The couple practices organic methods in their vineyards and obtained their certification in 2021. The soil of their vineyards is rich in calcareous gravel, clay and sedimentary sand from ice age glaciers.
Philosophy
Camille & Mathieu's winemaking philosophy focuses on natural production. All their wines ferment spontaneously with the grapes' own yeasts in fibreglass and stainless steel tanks, as well as in amphorae and old barrels. Their aim is to achieve a fresh style with a substantial texture derived from ageing on the lees. As a result, none of the white wines are clarified or filtered, deliberately presenting a cloudy appearance. The longevity of the wine is ensured by contact with the yeast sediments, and generally no additives are used.
