More informations about the variety Roussanne

Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.

More informations about the region of Savoie

Savoyard AOC dedicated to Altesse (locally Roussette), a native variety with late ripening and high acidity. Signature whites: ample and structured with ripe pear, yellow peach, candied citrus, white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), honey, toasted hazelnut, almond and a vibrant alpine mineral touch, taut palate with ageing potential — a great little-known mountain white. Four historic crus: Frangy, Marestel, Monterminod, Monthoux. Refined companion to cheeses and lake fish.
