The wine region of Roussette de Savoie

Savoyard AOC dedicated to Altesse (locally Roussette), a native variety with late ripening and high acidity. Signature whites: ample and structured with ripe pear, yellow peach, candied citrus, white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), honey, toasted hazelnut, almond and a vibrant alpine mineral touch, taut palate with ageing potential — a great little-known mountain white. Four historic crus: Frangy, Marestel, Monterminod, Monthoux. Refined companion to cheeses and lake fish.

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.
