Appellation Jongieux - AOC

The Savoie and Bugey appellation is a true gem nestled between the mountains and lakes of southeastern France, offering a unique palette of wines, predominantly white. Covering the departments of Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and certain cantons of Ain and Isère, this region benefits from a mountainous climate that imparts unparalleled freshness to the wines. The varied terroir, composed of clay and limestone soils, favours the cultivation of specific grape varieties such as Jacquère, Altesse, and Mondeuse. Savoie white wines are characterised by their lightness, floral and lingering aromas, while the red wines, primarily based on Mondeuse, reveal fruity and spicy flavours. The wines of Bugey, lesser-known but equally remarkable, offer a diversity ranging from the sparkling Cerdon to robust reds of Gamay and Pinot Noir. The appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) guarantees the authenticity and quality of these wines, ensuring renewed pleasure with each tasting. Perfect for novice or knowledgeable enthusiasts looking to enrich their cellar with wines deeply rooted in their terroir, the AOC Savoie and Bugey is an invitation to discover an exceptional wine heritage.
