Vin de Savoie (often written simply as "Savoie") is the main appellation of the Savoie region in the far east of France. This mountainous region located west of the Alps has distinctive wine styles that are rarely seen outside their territory of origin. Most are Dry white wines made from the Altesse, Jacquère and Chasselas grapes. Savoy wines are often described as distinctly "alpine", citing their fresh, Mineral characteristics.
The AOC Vin de Savoie was created in 1973, along with the appellation Roussette de Savoie, which covers the region's Altesse grape wines. Wines labelled simply as Savoie or Vin de Savoie, without an associated cru name, can be white, red, rosé and even Sparkling. White wines are dominated by the most common grape variety in Savoie, Jacquere, but may also contain Chardonnay, Aligote, Mondeuse Blanche, Veltliner Rouge Precoce, Chasselas, Gringet and Altesse. To complicate matters, Marsanne and Verdesse are also allowed, but only in the administrative department of Isère.
However, this represents only a tiny fraction of the appellation's surface area.

Lauzet is a Béarnese grape variety, part of the AOC of Béarn and Jurançon. This variety almost disappeared at the end of the 1980s. At that time, it only occupied a small cultivated area of 1 hectare in all. With the genetic diversity and the multiple plantings that have been carried out, it was able to reach, in 1994, 4 ha. The bunches and berries of Lauzet are all small. As a Pyrenean variety, it has a median lobe. The plant has a fairly early budburst, which takes place one week after Chasselas. As for its maturity, it is of the third period. This variety is fertile and somewhat vigorous, and is slightly susceptible to grey rot. Lauzet produces a wine of average quality. When it is vinified dry, it has adequate acidity. It gives off aromas of fruit and spices. It is often blended with other Pyrenean white grape varieties.
