Appellation Chignin - AOC

Nestled in the spectacular landscapes of the French Alps, the Savoie and Bugey appellation represents a mosaic of unique terroirs and distinct grape varieties. The terroirs benefit from a mountainous climate that imparts a vibrant freshness and distinctive minerality to the wines. The white wines, primarily made from Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussette grapes, are distinguished by their delicate floral aromas and invigorating acidity. They pair ideally with cheese-based dishes such as fondue or raclette. The reds, crafted from Mondeuse, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, offer spicy and fruity notes, with an elegant and silky structure.

In Bugey, the wines are characterized by their diversity, ranging from sparkling to rosé, as well as whites and reds. The local grape, Cerdon, produces unparalleled sparkling rosé wines. Recognized as AOC since 1973 and 2009 respectively, Savoie and Bugey wines represent an ancient wine tradition that attracts wine lovers seeking authenticity and discovery. Whether you are a novice or seasoned cellar manager, exploring the treasures of these appellations will enrich your collection and awaken your palate.
