Structured, aromatic whites with an ample palate and firm acidity, featuring aromas of white flowers (acacia), white peach, ripe pear, honey, candied citrus, toasted almond and alpine mineral notes. Good length and ageing potential. Absolute star of Roussette de Savoie AOC (especially crus Frangy, Marestel, Monthoux) and Roussette du Bugey AOC. Autochthonous Savoyard variety; legend has it that it was brought from Cyprus by Crusaders in the 14th century.

The wine region of Valais

Switzerland's largest vineyard, capital of native grapes. Straight, precise alpine whites: light, floral Chasselas (Fendant), signature Petite Arvine with saline, grapefruit and rhubarb notes, rich, apricoty Amigne, mineral Humagne Blanche. Altitude reds: fine Pinot Noir, crisp Gamay, native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge, spicy and deep. Highly precise alpine age-worthy wines.

The word of the wine: Acidic (flavor)

Acidity is present in all wines, and is essential in white wines. It is due to the presence of different organic acids in the wine, and is expressed in the mouth by a sensation of freshness combined with other elements, such as minerality or a note of bitterness. Moderately present, it brings relief and vivacity to the wine.
