Savoie is a French wine region located in the Alps, famous for its refreshing wines. Its cool climate and mountainous terrain are ideal for producing crisp white wines like Jacquère and Altesse, light reds such as Gamay and Pinot Noir, and the spicy Mondeuse grape variety. Mondeuse produces rich, tannic red wines with black fruit flavors and a peppery finish.
Savoie wines are typically lower in alcohol and high in acidity, making them an excellent accompaniment to local Alpine cuisine.
