Nestled in the mountainous east of France, just on the border of Switzerland, lies the fascinating region of Savoie. The cooler climate here lends itself perfectly to crisp, zippy white wines that almost crackle with life.
Little known white grape varieties like Roussanne and Jacquère are the stars of the show here, whereas the earthy grape Mondeuse makes the best of the region’s red wines. It may be a little known region on the wider market, but Savoie is crafting stellar wines that are worth discovering for yourself.
