Savoie White Wines: Alpine Purity & Natural Freshness

Hidden in the French Alps, the Savoie region produces white wines known for their exceptional freshness and precision. With their light structure and mineral edge, they appeal to lovers of vibrant, crystalline white wines.

Native grape varieties with character

Savoie is home to indigenous grapes such as Jacquère, Altesse (Roussette), Mondeuse Blanche and Gringet. These varieties yield light, floral or saline wines, often low in alcohol, ideal for refined palates and food pairings.

Mountain terroir and altitude

Vineyards are planted on steep alpine slopes between 300 and 600 meters above sea level. With limestone, schist or glacial soils and a cool climate, the region produces mineral, refreshing and expressive white wines.

Food pairings

Savoie whites shine alongside lake fish, mountain cheeses (Beaufort, Reblochon, Tomme…), cheese fondues, steamed vegetables or delicate plant-based cuisine. Their brightness also makes them ideal aperitif wines.

A discreet but ambitious viticulture

A new generation of passionate winemakers is breathing fresh life into the region, showcasing rare grape varieties with sincerity and finesse. Today, Savoie whites are gaining well-deserved acclaim for their authenticity and charm.
