Caves de Seyseel

In the French Alps, the village of Seyssel built its reputation on floral sparkling wines made from grapes grown almost nowhere else. When that legacy nearly disappeared, two local families set out to bring it back.

Seyssel has grown vines for centuries, and its sparkling wine gained wide fame in the 19th century. The Royal Seyssel label, launched in 1901 by the Varichon and Clerc families, was long considered the finest sparkling Seyssel on the market. After a large Burgundian negociant bought the operation in the 1990s, quality declined, and in 2007 the local winery was closed. Dismayed by the decline of their regional wine, Gerard and Catherine Lambert teamed up with Olivier Varichon to buy back the Royal Seyssel label and recreate the wine. Their wines are bottled under the Lambert de Seyssel and Caves de Seyssel names.
