Alpine grapes and freshness
Jacquere, Altesse, Mondeuse, Gamay, Chardonnay and local sparkling styles can all appear here. The wines often have clear acidity, mineral edges and a natural fit with lighter food, cheese and mountain dishes.
How to choose
Start with Savoie whites for seafood, aperitifs and cheese. Look at Mondeuse or lighter reds when you want something savoury, fresh and not too heavy. Sparkling Bugey can be a gentle, joyful alternative to more familiar fizz.
