Discover the grape variety: Verdesse
Crisp, aromatic dry whites with a pale golden colour, a slender palate and preserved acidity, showing delicate aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), white fruits (apple, pear) and alpine mineral notes. A crystalline mountain character. Very rare, preserved by a handful of Dauphiné growers for its heritage value, in confidential high-altitude cuvées. Indigenous French variety of Isère and the Dauphiné, a witness to ancient Alpine grape varieties.
