Cépage : Grape variety : Roussette

Roussette, more commonly known as Altesse, is a signature white grape variety from Savoie. It is primarily used to produce refined and aromatic wines under the Roussette de Savoie AOC appellation. This grape variety is renowned for its excellent aging potential, developing complex and sophisticated aromas over time.

Wines made from Roussette are elegant and well-structured, featuring notes of white flowers, stone fruits, and citrus. With age, they reveal hints of honey, spices, and dried fruits. Thanks to its naturally high acidity, Altesse produces well-balanced wines, making it an ideal match for fish, mountain cheeses, and gourmet dishes.

Typical of the Savoie region, this lesser-known yet exceptional grape variety deserves to be discovered for its unique alpine terroir expression and rich aromatic profile.
