Discovering the wine region of Seyssel

Seyssel is the only single-Village appellation in Savoie, located 32 km South of Geneva on the western edge of the French Alps. Wine has been produced in Seyssel since the 11th century and over the years the area has built up a reputation for high quality, helped by the tourists who have always flocked to the region. Although still white wines are allowed by appellation law, the region is best known for its Rich, Floral">floralSparkling wines, mainly from the Altesse and Chasselas grapes. The village of Seyssel is located on Part of the Haut-Rhône, as it forms the westernmost border of Savoie before heading south to the famous hillsides of the Rhone Valley wine region.

Curiously, Seyssel is actually split between two administrative departments: the Ain (home to the Bugey appellation) on the west bank of the Rhône, and Savoie on the east bank. This split has created an unusual situation where the two halves are recognized as independent communes, both called Seyssel. The small village of Corbonod (on the Savoy side) is also covered by the Seyssel appellation. The vineyards of Seyssel are located on the slopes of the mountains and ridges surrounding the river.
