Our Savoie wines

Our wines of Savoie come from the domaines of Gilbert Bouchez et Jean vullien (www.jeanvullien.com), family concerns established on slopes in the foothills of the Bauges massif. These wines have been created with traditional Savoyard dedication, and have a distinctive quality combining lightness, freshness, and subtlety.

A dry but fruity white wine, slightly sparkling.

Apremont

A complex thoroughbred, with hints of white flowers.

Pinot

An elegant red wine, with a bouquet suggestive of roast hazelnut and redcurrants.

A rich and fruity ruby-coloured red wine.

Vin de Savoie
The first Savoyard vines were planted around 400BC and make this one of the most ancient wine regions of France. The appellation//domain name was granted in 1973, mainly on account of the white wines which account for 70% of production. The best-known grapes are Jacquere, Apremont, Chignin Bergeron, Abyme and Cruet, while Rousette and Chardonnay produce a fruitier wine. These wines go very well with//are ideally suited to the flavours of our regional dishes. The red grapes, with Mondeuse the most rooted in the region, yield a characteristic and peppery wine.
