Appellation Mondeuse - AOC

The Savoie and Bugey appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) is a viticultural treasure nestled in the mountainous landscapes of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France. Renowned for its geographical and climatic diversity, this region offers a variety of unique and expressive wines. The vineyards of Savoie stretch across steep slopes, benefiting from generous sunlight that promotes grape ripening. The emblematic grape varieties include Jacquère, Altesse, and Mondeuse, which produce fresh and aromatic white wines as well as spicy and robust reds.

On the other hand, the Bugey, often overlooked, is distinguished by microclimates conducive to high-quality wines, particularly from varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Bugey wines are characterized by their finesse, freshness, and subtle aromas. The region is also famous for its sparkling wines, with Bugey-Cerdon being the most celebrated, highly appreciated for its sweetness and delicate effervescence.

Wine enthusiasts, whether novices or experts, will find in the wines of Savoie and Bugey a complexity and richness that perfectly reflect the mountainous terroir and the passion of the local winemakers.
