Details and technical informations about Winery Lingot Martin's Bugey Rouge.
Discover the grape variety: Posip
A very old grape variety grown in Croatia, on the island of Korcula in southern Dalmatia. It is said to be the result of a natural cross between two Croatian grape varieties, zlatarica blatska and bratkovina. It should not be confused with furmint, which has the synonym posip. Today, Posip can be found throughout Croatia and neighbouring countries... in France it is almost unknown, yet it seems interesting in the production of different/original white wines to discover.

The wine region of Bugey
Bugey is a wine region in the Ain department of eastern France. The Bugey appellation covers red, white, rosé and Sparkling wines from a range of Grape varieties. The more specific Roussette du Bugey appellation applies to the Rich white wines produced in the region from the Altesse grape. The area covers the Southern limits of the Jura mountain range, which also includes the Jura wine region to the North.
The wine region of Savoie
Savoie is a wine region in eastern France, in the mountainous areas just South of Lake Geneva and on the border with Switzerland. The location and geography of the region has very much defined its Character, which is fragmented, hilly and slightly Swiss. This is evident in the fresh, crisp white wines produced here, as well as in the labels of the region's wines. Many bear a white cross on a red background - the flag of Switzerland and Savoy.
The word of the wine: Vaccaresis
Black grape variety, one of the 13 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be used in a blend in this appellation and other neighbouring AOCs (Côtes-du-Rhône, Gigondas...). It produces a floral, elegant and fresh wine, which balances the warmth of the Grenache. It is rare.
