Steep Alpine slopes, lakes and limestone shape this Savoie wine area. Jacquère gives light, crisp whites, while Altesse, sold as Roussette, has more texture and a longer finish. Gringet is closely tied to Ayze and Domaine Belluard. Mondeuse makes peppery, structured reds. Vin de Savoie, Roussette de Savoie, Seyssel, Crépy and Crémant de Savoie are the appellations listed here. Freshness remains central, while labels become more specific as they move from appellation to village and slope.
