Wines made from Muscadelle grapes of Savoie
Discover the best wines made with Muscadelle as a single variety or as a blend of Savoie.
Aromatic, fruity whites with a tender palate, with intense aromas of muscat, white flowers, honey, candied citrus and floral notes (no genetic link to the muscat family). Minor component in the great botrytised dessert wines of Sauternes, Barsac, Cérons and Monbazillac, adding perfume and freshness. Also dry in Entre-Deux-Mers. Made as sumptuous fortified wines in Australia (Rutherglen Topaque). French variety from Bordeaux and the South-West.
French Alpine vineyard with unique native grapes. Signature Jacquère in whites (~50% of the vineyard): lively, light dry wines with white flowers, green apple, citrus, fresh almond and a mineral touch, perfect with fondue and raclette. Ampler Altesse (Roussette) (pear, honey, hazelnut). Fruity, peppery Mondeuse reds (cherry, violet, firm tannins), light Gamay and fine Pinot Noir.
