Intensity
The Roussette de Savoie grape variety has really taken off in the past few years. Louis Magnin elevates this humble variety with an unresting respect for tradition, producing beautifully fresh and aromatic wines.
More infoThis region’s emblematic grape variety, the Roussette de Savoie– or Altesse –, has been going through a renaissance of sorts these past few years. Louis Magnin craftfully encourages these grapes to express their full potential, creating wines with powerful aromas of flowers, spices and candied fruits. On the palate, the wine surprises with both its freshness and minerality. The wine is matured in oak barrels and stainless steel vats, where it goes through malolactic fermentation, thereby producing a dry white wine that can be cellared for around five years.
