Discover Savoie Wines

Located between Savoie and Haute-Savoie, as well as two communes in Ain and one in Isère, the Savoie wine region is renowned for its unique alpine terroir. Known for its distinctive white, red, and sparkling wines, this region features emblematic grape varieties such as Roussette de Savoie, Mondeuse, Jacquère, and Altesse. These wines are closely associated with traditional winter meals and offer diverse styles that highlight the freshness and minerality of the mountain climate.

Terroir and Characteristics

The terroir of Savoie consists of glacial alluvial soils, marl, and clay, combined with a cool alpine climate that ensures slow maturation of grapes. The Roussette de Savoie is typically vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its crispness and floral aromas, while Mondeuse produces full-bodied red wines that may be aged in oak barrels to develop complexity.

Wine Profile

Savoie wines are known for their freshness, elegance, and clear mineral notes. Whites from Jacquère and Altesse offer floral and fruity aromas, vibrant acidity, and a light body—ideal as aperitifs or paired with food. Reds based on Mondeuse present spicy, fruity flavors with moderate tannins, creating a well-balanced and harmonious wine with good aging potential.

Food Pairings

Savoie wines pair perfectly with local specialties such as savoyard fondue, raclette, tartiflette, and regional cheeses like Époisses and Reblochon. White wines also complement freshwater fish dishes and poultry in creamy sauces.
