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.
The word of the wine: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
