Light, simple fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, soft tannins, airy palate and moderate acidity; unassuming aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic style.

The wine region of Roussette du Bugey
Bugey AOC in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (east of Ain, ~21 ha on karstified limestone ridges extending southward from the Jura, clay-limestone soils, marls and moraines, semi-continental climate with warm summers and mountain-oceanic winter influences, AOC 2009): exclusive native Altesse as the signature white (the local roussette or fusette grape) – dry, mineral and precisely chiselled, late-ripening with modest yields, best served at 10–12°C. Fine aromatic bouquet from Savoyard-Jura terroir.
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: Late harvest
A name historically used in Alsace, late harvest refers to grapes harvested during over-ripening for the production of sweet and syrupy wines.
