Soleyane Rouge Léger is the Apffels' lighter-footed red cuvée — 'léger' meaning light, and they mean it. This is Alpine red wine made for pure joy: barely-there tannins, brilliant fruit, and the kind of cooling freshness that makes it equally at home slightly chilled on a summer evening or alongside a weeknight roast. Camille and Mathieu farm in Savoie, and the cuvée is based on Mondeuse and Pinot Noir rather than the Gamay of Beaujolais. The result is vivid, low-alcohol, and completely refreshing.

More about Camille & Mathieu Apffel

Alpine wine at its most hands-on: Camille and Mathieu Apffel do every job in the vineyard and the cellar themselves, with no employees, and they bottle their Savoie wines without any added sulfur.

Mathieu grew up in the Jura and came to Savoie in 2013, making Apremont with a friend before buying a cellar and vines from a retiring vigneron in 2017. Camille joined him in 2020. Home base is Saint-Baldoph, just south of Chambéry, where Jacquère vines 30 to 70 years old face southeast at 250 to 350 meters on clay and limestone strewn with mica-schist and quartz left behind by ancient glaciers. A steep, gravelly limestone hill in Saint-Alban and a parcel in neighboring Bugey round out about four and a half hectares, all worked by hand and farmed organically (uncertified), with biodynamic practices.

Mathieu thinks of his reds as infusions rather than extractions: whole clusters, gentle handling, and the color and tannin coaxed out rather than wrung out. Everything ferments on native yeasts and is bottled unfiltered. Most of what they make is white, led by the Jacquère Avant la Tempête, while Soleyane brings Mondeuse and Pinot Noir from Bugey into a light, chillable red.
