FAQ
What are Savoie wines?
Savoie wines come from the French Alps, mainly around Chambéry and the valleys leading to the mountain slopes. They are known for their freshness, mineral character and strong connection to Alpine terroirs.
Which grape varieties are typical of Savoie?
Iconic Savoie grapes include Jacquère (crisp and mineral whites), Altesse/Roussette (more structured whites), and Mondeuse (spicy, deep reds). You may also find Roussanne locally called “Bergeron” in Chignin Bergeron wines.
What food pairs well with Savoie wines?
Jacquère is great with cheese-based dishes (raclette, fondue), lake fish and aperitif plates. Mondeuse matches grilled meats, charcuterie and hearty mountain cuisine. Bergeron and Roussette work beautifully with poultry, creamy dishes and richer fish.
