The vineyards lie on the best exposed hillsides of Jongieux. The terroir is characterised by molasses, a soft and crumbly sandstone, and clay in its soils. It is perfect to grow the Altesse grape variety.
Vinification
The grapes are pressed right after the destemming. Fermentation is carried out between 16°C and 20°C in stainless steel thermostatically controlled tanks.
The sommelier’s description
Here, Altesse expresses all generosity of the grape variety and nobility of a big land, with delicate and numerous aromatic characters.
Food & wine pairings
The wine pairs well with river fish in sauce or cheese. It can also be served during the aperitif.
