Chamonix Wine Farm is nestled against Mont Rochelle mountain, deep within the rich wine-growing valley of Franschhoek in the Western Cape. Formerly part of the historic farm, La Cotte, granted to the Huguenots in 1688 Chamonix today comprises some 300 hectares.
German-born Chris Hellinger purchased the farm in the early nineties when it was predominantly an export fruit farm. With tenacity and vigor a replanting program began, steadily replacing the fruit trees with noble French varieties, and using old world principles an underground cellar was built.
Chamonix has around fifty hectares under vine. To produce a wine of character, containing all elements of grape-unique terroir and process, only Chamonix grapes are used for their wines. Lying up against the mountain the farm benefits from cool breezes during hot summer months and the stony clay-rich soil gives the wines the unique personality and character which make up the Chamonix story.
