Nos vins blancs de Savoie

The vineyards of Savoie stretches across steep hillsides in the heart of the Alps, nestled between lakes and mountains. The altitude and mountain climate play a central role in the style of the white wines, which are distinguished by their freshness, vibrancy, and great drinkability.

A variety of terroirs ranging from limestone to glacial moraines

The soils of the Savoie region consist of limestone scree, clay, and glacial deposits. This diversity, combined with often well-ventilated slopes, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and naturally preserve their acidity.

These conditions produce white wines that are precise, clean, and highly aromatic.

The region's signature grape varieties

Savoie white wines are made from several local or traditional grape varieties:

• Jacquère, the primary grape variety, is light, lively, and very refreshing
• Altesse (or Roussette), more full-bodied, with notes of ripe fruit and flowers
• Roussanne, adding roundness and aromatic complexity

Jacquère is particularly representative of the Savoyard style, producing dry, crisp, and refreshing wines.

Fresh, mineral-driven white wines

Savoyard white wines are characterized by their crispness on the palate and delicate aromas. They feature notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, and sometimes a hint of minerality or a slight salinity, depending on the terroir.

Food and Wine Pairings

These wines pair naturally with mountain cuisine and fresh produce: Savoyard cheeses (such as raclette or tomme), lake fish, shellfish, salads, and vegetarian dishes. Their liveliness also makes them excellent aperitif wines.

An elegant Alpine identity

Savoie white wines perfectly embody their terroir: light, crisp, and refreshing wines, crafted from local grape varieties and imbued with a distinct mountain character. They offer an elegant alternative to the richer whites from other French regions.
