The wine region of Vin de Savoie

French Alpine AOC between lakes and mountains (~1,755 ha, 71% whites). Lively, mineral whites dominate. Signature Jacquere of the Apremont, Abymes, Chignin crus: with signature notes of white flowers, green apple, citrus, almond and gunflint, a taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Savoyard aperitif with fondue or raclette. Altesse (Roussette) more noble and broad (honey, hazelnut, ripe citrus).

The wine region of Savoie

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.

The word of the wine: Presses

The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
