Appellation Jongieux - AOC

The Savoie and Bugey appellation is a true gem nestled between the mountains and lakes of southeastern France, offering a unique array of wines, predominantly white. Spanning the departments of Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and certain cantons of Ain and Isère, this region enjoys a mountain climate that imparts unmatched freshness to the wines. The varied terroir, with clay and limestone soils, is conducive to cultivating specific grape varieties such as Jacquère, Altesse, and Mondeuse. The white wines of Savoie are characterized by their lightness and persistent floral aromas, while the red wines, primarily made from Mondeuse, reveal fruity and spicy flavors. The wines of Bugey, less known but equally remarkable, offer a diversity ranging from the sparkling Cerdon to robust reds of Gamay and Pinot Noir. The controlled designation of origin (AOC) guarantees the authenticity and quality of these wines, ensuring renewed pleasure with every tasting. Perfect for both novice enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs looking to enrich their cellar with wines deeply rooted in their terroir, the Savoie and Bugey AOC is an invitation to discover an exceptional wine heritage.
