Nos vins effervescents de Savoie

The vineyards of Savoie also offers sparkling wines that reflect the freshness and liveliness of its mountain terroirs. Produced in an environment characterized by high altitude, lakes, and a cool climate, these wines are distinguished by their finesse and natural tension.

Ideal conditions for fresh, crisp wines

The hillsides of Savoy, composed of limestone soils and glacial moraines, promote slow ripening of the grapes. This characteristic helps preserve high natural acidity, an essential element in the production of balanced and elegant sparkling wines.

The result is fine bubbles and wines characterized by a lovely freshness.

Grape varieties suited for sparkling wine production

Sparkling wines from Savoie are primarily made from local grape varieties such as Jacquère, but also include other varieties depending on the cuvée. Jacquère brings lightness and liveliness, while other varieties can enhance the structure and aroma.

This diversity allows for styles ranging from crisp and refreshing to more complex profiles.

Lively, light, and approachable wines

These sparkling wines from Savoy are known for their refreshing quality and aromatic finesse. They offer notes of citrus, white flowers, and fresh fruit, supported by fine bubbles and a lovely liveliness on the palate.

Food and Wine Pairings

These wines are particularly well-suited as an aperitif, but also pair well with light meals: lake fish, seafood, crisp vegetables, or fresh cheeses. Their freshness also makes them festive and versatile wines.

An Alpine alternative to classic sparkling wines

Savoie’s sparkling wines offer a more mountainous take on French sparkling wines: livelier, more straightforward, and often lighter, they stand out for their authenticity and their direct connection to their high-altitude terroir.
