Tucked into the French Alps along the borders of Switzerland and Italy, Savoie is one of France’s most dramatic and distinctive wine regions. Steep mountain vineyards and limestone-rich soils are home to a fascinating collection of local varieties including Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse and Bergeron, the local name for Roussanne. The wines are shaped by their alpine surroundings, often combining remarkable freshness, delicate aromatics and a distinctly mineral character.

Producers such as Adrien Berlioz, Domaine Giachino and Cellier de la Baraterie are leading a new generation of thoughtful growers, championing organic farming, indigenous varieties and site-driven wines that have made Savoie one of France’s most exciting regions.
