Appellation Chignin - AOC

Nestled in the spectacular landscapes of the French Alps, the Savoie and Bugey appellation represents a mosaic of distinctive terroirs and unique grape varieties. The terroirs benefit from a mountainous climate that imparts a vibrant freshness and distinctive minerality to the wines. The white wines, predominantly made from Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussette grape varieties, are distinguished by their delicate floral aromas and invigorating acidity. They pair perfectly with cheese-based dishes such as fondue or raclette. The reds, crafted from Mondeuse, Gamay, and Pinot Noir, offer spicy and fruity notes, with an elegant and silky structure.

In Bugey, the wines are characterised by their diversity, ranging from sparkling wines to rosés, and including whites and reds. The local grape, Cerdon, produces incomparable sparkling rosé wines. Recognised as AOC in 1973 and 2009 respectively, the wines of Savoie and Bugey represent an ancestral wine-making tradition that appeals to wine enthusiasts seeking authenticity and discovery. Whether you are a novice or experienced cellar manager, exploring the treasures of these appellations will enrich your collection and delight your palate.
