Lively and thirst-quenching whites with a pale colour, a lean palate and brisk acidity, on delicate aromas of white flowers (hawthorn), citrus, green apple, fresh almond and characteristic alpine mineral notes of flint. Light finish, best drunk young. The absolute star of Vin de Savoie AOC crus (Apremont, Abymes, Chignin, Cruet) on the limestone scree of Mont Granier. Native Savoyard variety, the most planted in the French alpine vineyards.

The word of the wine: Assembly
Blending of several wines to obtain a single batch. Using wines of the same origin, blending is very different from coupage - a mixture of wines from different origins - which has a pejorative connotation.
