Elegant, taut dry still and sparkling whites with a pale golden color, slender palate and sharp alpine acidity, offering refined aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers (acacia), pear, dried fruits and calcareous mineral notes. A crystalline profile. Star of Ayze AOC in still and sparkling styles in the Arve valley, artisanal and rare cuvées. Synonym for gringet, a Savoyard indigenous variety related to Jura savagnin.
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
